Hello, My name is Dan and last night my radiator hose blew and was smoking really bad. I have no heat in my vehicle and looking to get that fixed as well. One last thing would be the oil leak that I have. Would this be an easy fix and how would I go about getting it done. I have an infant and funds are limited. I am able to do most repairs I just need to know exactly what to buy for parts or where to go. I have a 1982 Ford LTD, 460 engine.

ahose is around $15 and oil leaks haveto be found first. a heater core can be a big job and a core is about $45 so it's up to you whether you want to tackle this or not.
