I have this anoying leak that comes into the car. I look at the matt on passenger side and there is coolant. So I filled it up and waited for it to start leaking but the s.o.b wont. Its playing some game. When I am not looking its when it leaks. I look at the radiator and some of it gone but not completely empty. Theres that black box under dash on the passenger side that has some dry coolant on it. Aww what is it?

I believe it is where the heater core is at.

get a new heater core more than likely, it is a pain in the *** to get to though.

you can bypass it for now so you dont get nasty coolant in the car.

go under the hoos, the 2 hoses going into the firewall, hook them together.
