Reply With QuoteMost likely the heater core is leaking. That is the only place antifreeze is in the cabin. So you can block off the core, or replace it.

It sets behind the center console, under the dash, which has to come out to get to it.

Replacing will be expensive if you can't do the work yourself, the heater core is time consuming to get at. It can be easily bypassed by rerouting hoses in the engine bay and that's what I would recommend if you feel you can live without a heater. in a convertible. in Texas. in July.

ya even in winter barely need it but ya it only happens it when I'm racing and going round a corner fast but ya ill probably end up pulling dash out because I wanna put ac in it that even with a convertible need ac lol
Funny, I'm about to tear the a/c out of mine. Let me know if you need a part of it. The heater core should be pretty easy for you to bypass in the mean time so you don't have coolant on you until you get around to pulling the dash.

how u want for the whole set up? but in the mean time as long as I don't have air on it won't leak? or I need to reverse hoses to permanently stop it?
Well I can't say whether or not it will leak if you just don't use it but the bypass s really easy. In your engine bay there are two metal pipes coming straight out of the firewall about where the steering wheel is, those go to the heater core so you would just unplug the two rubber hoses from them and couple them together using a piece of tube.
I'll let you know about the ac when it gets removed here in a few days

sounds good ill probably end up just disabling it
ok well i used one of the hoses that was already there and just bypasses the whole thing so it just circulates i guess we will see how that holds up i think itll be ok ill post some pics up yall comment and tell if i did it right or not haha
so thats what i did and ran water thru the hole to get crud out flushed my radiator couple times now and had engine running to get it to kinda flush the engin a lil
and yes that is a broken dip stick :P hit it with pliers when i was pulling hose off
I cant tell because the picture is dark, but make sure there are no kinks in the hose.
there arent any i made sure of that i didnt want it to blow off from back pressure but everything is running fine now just need a need a new engine eventually this ones got 196k thinking 1.8 bored to a 2.0 then supercharge
