I know I have read about this issue with Mustangs before, but I thought I would put the question out to everyone to get a answer rather than dig through all my mags. I have anti-freeze dripping into my passenger side front. What causes this, what's the fix, is it a "easier" do it yourself. Or is it more involved work. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Sounds like your heater core is leaking. I haven't done the repair on an early Mustang, but it's not that difficult.

Could be the heater core, OR one of the hoses leaking where it attaches to the core.

Most likely your heater core is busted. Check for any loose hoses before you spring for a new one. I had this happen to me. It was one of the first things that i replaced. Since it is summer, and heat isnt as desireable, you can always bypass the heater core and not worry about it. Worked for me until it got cold last year.

I'd say your heater core crapped out on you. It is also possible that a hose connecting to the heater core is leaking though. You'll just have to crawl under there and see!

I had the same problem. I thought that it was my heater core, but upon tearing it apart I found that it was just a cracked hose. My recommendation is that whatever you find, replace the heater core anyway while you have it apart. They are only $20 and it will save you a lot of time later.

Well I'm glad we're all in agreement. Anyone else want to AGREE?

Thanks for the info everyone. I'm in Wisconsin and it's a 69 convertible, so I use the heater during the short season we do get. I appreciate the quick reply. Any other info is welcome. Just wanted to say thank you.
