Hi,
I noticed this morning that there was a good size puddle on the floor in the front on the passenger side. Is this from a busted heating coil?? If so, what is a rough estimate of getting this fixed? I just need some sort of idea here.

Thanks.

Did you check the fluid to determine if it was antifreeze or water? If it is antifreeze then you do have a heater core problem, if not and it is water then two issues are possible. One rain and a plugged drain. Two A/C condensation moisture and a plugged drain.

Suggested Repair

Identify the floor fluid first. If it is antifreeze, the heater core is leaking and needs repair. If it is water, check for a plugged drain from rainwater or A/C condensation.

Conversation Summary

The expert advised checking whether the fluid is antifreeze or water. Antifreeze indicates a heater core problem; water points to rain or A/C condensation with a plugged drain.
