well I just replaced the radiator and now I have a lake of anti freeze on the passenger side floor baord. what would cause this? I did notic that when I replaced the radiator that the people who had it before me were using green coolant that is probably what caused the problems? I have a 1996 3.8 is ther a cheap teperary fix so I can drive my car? also does anyone know the part # or price of a heater core from Gmpartsirect.com? any help would be great. thanks.

Yes it is the heater core. Not sure of any part numbers. You can do it yourself but its a pain. I had to do it on my old 85 IROC-Z, not sure if its any different on the newer ones.2003 Nissan 350Z Touring Coupe, Daytona Blue, Frost leather interior, navigation, 18 inch wheels, M6, fully loaded, intake, crank pulley.<br /><br />Previous cars:<br />1991 Mustang (347)<br />2002 RS Camaro<br />1985 IROC-Z (305)<br />1994 Camaro convertible V6

Yes, 99.99% of the time antifreeze on the passenger floor means the heater core is leaking.
If you don't really use your heat, or can live without it for a while, then just disconnect the heater core lines in the engine bay, and connect the two lines that used to go into it together.
Heater cores are pretty cheap (paid $30ish for the one I bought for my grandpa's early 90's S-10), but the installation is a PITA.
