I discovered I had a drip coming from the rear of my Limited. At first I thought it was just condensation from running the rear a/c unit. However I soon discovered that it was coolant coming from what appeared to be the rubber hoses going into the heater core at first, but I then discovered its actually the pipe coming off the heater core into the rubber heater hose that cracked causing the leak. I've been monitoring the coolant levels very closely, but I need to fix it now asap. The strange thing about the heater core is that it has a/c lines going into it as well so I am having trouble finding one. Anyone have this issue and take it on? Also how involved of a job is this? I'll try to get a pic later on
*edit*
Here's a couple pics. The one side broke off when I started it after work today causing a waterfalls of antifreeze. The other side wasn't too far off from failure. that snapped clean off when I attempted to get the hose off. I was able to cut some pipe to Jerry-rig a bypass and had to cut about 2" off each of the hoses. Definitely not a long term fix. I still want to fix it the right way.
