I get a smell of antifreeze in the cabin and have no visible leaks. Experience tells me this may be the heater core going out. 1. Do I need to remove the entire dishboard to service the core? and 2. Can I bypass the heater core to avoid the smell and is there any potential for damage by doing so?
Thanks
