I have a 1994 toyota celica, and it started leaking coolant on the floor of the passenger side of the car. I took it to a mechanic who said it was the heater core and that it would cost over $1,000 to replace it. I was wondering if this is an outrageous price for replacement, or if there was some kind of solvent I could use that might temporarily seal the heater core.

Better check the drain tube might be the one that causing the backflow in the pax side. Did he tear it apart to confirm its leaking from the core.

What K-too much,get a 2nd quote or whatever.
