well i don't think it's the actual heater core, it looks like one of the hose's the one closest to the drivers side goes into a HCV or some other type of of bypass valve that's leaking.

i do plan on fixing it the right way, but i have a jeep that eats up most of my extra cash and spare wrenching time. so i was just looking for a quick fix to get me by for the time.

so on the rad there's a lower hose on the drivers side, goes over the rack and under the motor and up to the heater core i think. it's real tight in there and i'm pretty big so i couldn't get a real good look back there with out pulling stuff a part.

thanks for the help, dustent.
