I may have an electrolysis problem, I am replacing my heater core for the 2nd time in about 2.5 years. What do I look for? And how do I look for it. Thank you, ken.

Hello, no I dont think the htr. Core is plugged, like the last time, I think it has a hole in it. Anti-freeze is leaking out of the htr. Duct on the passenger side nearest the tranny hump. Also, steam or vapors come out of the vents, even with htr. Off, thank you, ken.

Hi:
I didn't realize you had a leak. It it's leaking on to the passanger side, you are right. It's the heater core.
