Re: [Chrysler300] Heater Core

[Ray Jones <1970hurst@xxxxxxxxx>]

Another often missed source of leakage is the heater hose connection. If
one of them seeps, it can run down the heater core pipe and into the cabin
and drip on the carpet.
Check there first. If you have air, use a blower to blow around the
connection at the firewall and see if any wetness spreads from there. Then
with a strong light, look at the inside of the firewall where the pipes
come thru and see what you see.
Good luck, Ray
