I met my wife at the kids doctor office, when we left, there was anti-freeze running from the
bottom of the van by the passenger front door. There was a small leak on the supply
line going to the rear heater core. I had the van towed home and the next day took the
line apart, which was a MAJOR pain (the engineer who designed that line should be tar and feathered). I found numerous bad rust spots on this peice and new it would need replaced. I called every junkyard and none had one (most said they just cut this peice when parting a van out). New cost from the dealer was over $120! My dad made me a new one which I put on the following year (I just bypassed the rear supply until I had the new one).
