I would like to know why I suddenly have fluid leaking into my car. It is obviously something to do with the air conditioning system. Someone told me that it could possibly be a worn out "heater core". Is this true. If so could I repair it myself? Is this an expensive thing to have done? The odd thing about this is that I did not have a leak at all until after I took my car in to have my oil changed. They "topped off" all my fluids. Is there any way they could have jarred something loose. Or is this possibly coincidental.

Your AC condensation drain tube is not draining. They may have bumped it on oil change. It is on pass side at the bottom of evap box. Generally accessed via engine compartment you shuold see a little tube angling down. Clean out

Thank you so much. I'm going to ask a mechanic tomorrow as I need to get my tires checked before going on a long trip this next week. You have been very helpful. I wish the guys at the Express Lube place had simply been honest and admitted that they could have done something wrong. God bless you!
