t_revz Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 when you dont use the air con for a while the seals in the compressor can dry out and you lose gas. if the liquid is from the aircon it will only be water and would mean the drain is blocked. but if its still leaking and you dont have an air con belt then it must be coolant from a leaking heater core or one of the hoses from the firewall to the core. turn the heater off for a bit to see if it stops, wipe a white rag on wet spot to see if its green(coolant). prob more chance of a weeping hose than the actual core.

menglo Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 hi mate thanks for the reply heater is off but its still leaking green which is coolent and i dont know how to reach there to see which hose is that the heater hose connections are located at the firewall,if it was leaking you would see it in your engine bay.i suspect its a leaking heater core.way to fix this problem is to take your heater box out and check out your heater core,very annoying job though Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/335031-coolent-leak-inside-the-carpassenger-seat-is-it-ac-or-some-other-fault/#findComment-5424793 Share on other sites More sharing options...

t_revz Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 even if the heater is turned off it can still leak as only one hose has a tap on it. as Todd sys check the tutorial so you dont have to pull the dash out Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/335031-coolent-leak-inside-the-carpassenger-seat-is-it-ac-or-some-other-fault/#findComment-5426016 Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrazyKong Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 even if the heater is turned off it can still leak as only one hose has a tap on it. as Todd sys check the tutorial so you dont have to pull the dash out Where is this tap btw? It must be on the engine side of things, as the heater core doesn't have one, nor the plastic angled pipes that you connect to it. I don't see anything in the rubber heater hoses either.
