Heater Core - Always Something

[SBpunk]

Got a nice little trickle coming down the from the spot on the top of the photo. Thinking its the heater core. Just changed out the upper hose the other day. Didn't see a green tint to the stuff but was using a sheet of paper hahaha. What do you guys think?

Does it smell like coolant in the cab? Did it leak before you replaced the hose that you know of?  Did you push hard on the core pipe when replacing the hose? Did you double check that you're not leaking from the hose connection?  Double check the seal to the firewall looks good from the engine bay.  Its possible that it is disintegrating and it is letting water in from there. 

 

From what I can see, it looks to have a green tint on the left most trail towards the bottom of frame.  My guess is that from the force of replacing the hose, it caused the core to crack and start leaking.  You've got a fun job ahead of you.

I'll try to tighten the hose. Luckily most the dash is out already

The hose clamp was pretty loose. Think I forgot to hit it with the socket instead of just a flat head. Its raining out now but hopefully that'll solve it.
