Coolant leak under dash

Good morning.

If it is coolant, it is leaking from a failed heater core. It is the only component inside the car that carries coolant. It must be replaced to resolve the issue.

Are you going to attempt it yourself?

Hello thanks for the reply. I have never messed with such . I guess there is a first time for everything.

I tried to upload a picture of where the water is pouring out from. It would be a real big help if i could find a free manual on this van.

Okay, I will get some directions for you for this.

I do not know about any free manuals but parts stores have manuals for this.
