Leaks coolant under rear heater core. Drips just behind left rear tire. Drains the cooling system. Appears to be running from an overflow tube under the vehicle, directly beneath rear heater. No broken hoses or lines. No coolant inside the vehicle. What is wrong?

Hi,

Replacement of the auxiliary heater core is a someone big job. However, if you take your time, you should be fine.

First, you will need to evacuate Freon from the air conditioning unit. Here is a link you may find helpful for both evacuating and recharging.

If you look at the attachments below, I attached the directions and pictures specific to your vehicle for replacement.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe
