Some of you might remeber that I replaced my heater core. At the time I did not know that there was a small leak but I new it was older then the 17 years I have owned the car and thought it might be a good thing to do.
Here is my link to the page I put together.

Nice pics, Brian!!
I see the green monster on the lower tube there....that's a sure sign of leakage, whether from a loose hose, or leaking core.
Yeeeesh.....you made it sound(and look) soooo easy!!!!
Thanks for posting the pics, and write-up!

Ahhh memories of when I did mine. It appears to me that isn't the original core? The original would be date stamped and would have Harrison on the lower tank.
