Yea if You look under your hood on the passenger side you will see 2 rubber hoses going into the firewall, those are for the heater core. You can change it by taking the glove box out, etc... I am not sure on the price, best bet is to call Jason Cromer. Also, try to eliminiate the fact that it COULD be coming from a t-top leak. Also tell us if its coolant or water.

There about 59.99 from Autozone, I wrote a quick install guide on how to install one.

Oh yeah, it's probably your heater core.

No, just be sure to bypass it so you don't have to worry about the leak. (which could eventually lead to overheating if not taken care of)

The longer I drove with mine, the worse it got. It was so bad that I lost so much coolant overnight that I started to overheat. I did not have to take out the dash when I did mine, only the glovebox.

If it's just water, check under your carpet on the pass side and see if the plastic plug on the floorpan has came out, if it has and youve driven in wet weather, that would get the carpet wet too.

if it doesn't smell like coolant, its not your heater core...theres water coming in from somewhere. When you wash your car do you notice water seeping in from the window seals? Check that under carpet plug too...
