I have a 98 skylark with the 3.1 v6 the hard line going to my heater core has a leak but it seems to be buried in the motor and tips? I have looked from underneath but its so tight in there I cant get my hands in there not sure where to start.

Cut it off and use a longer rubber hose/worm clamp on it
