My wife drives a '95 Explorer and it's appears the heater core is leaking. It seems to be a very small leak as not much coolant is being lost, but the coolant smell is noticable in the vehicle.
My first question is...Anyone ever have any luck with radiater stop leak products?
If anyone has ever replaced a heater core in this vehicle, they'll understand why this might seem like a good option I plan to disconnect the hoses coming from the core to prevent any of the product from entering the radiater or engine block. I'm not sure exactly how I'll do it, but I'll probably try to rig some kind of gravity feed system.
My second question...I have already replaced the heater core once, about 3-4 years ago. Why would it have failed again so soon?
Thanks in advance.
