you really need to take this toa pro where he can put a pressure tester on it. the leak can be a bad heater hose, leaking head gasketor even a heater core..

More than likely a leaking intake manifold, they usually start leaking at the ends where the head cooling passages are. gasket just deteriorates. A pressure test is recommended.
