Bad Heater Core Or Condensation?

[1Slow5.Ohh]

My 94 GT was overheating so I popped the hood and noticed a slow drip coming from the firewall weep hole where the heater core is. I assumed I had found the issue and bypassed it. After doing so the car still overheated, so i did the thermostat and that kept it under control.

Now thinking back on it it was a very small trickle and i dont remember seeing any green tinting to the liquid The car was running hot and the A/C was on. There was NO leakage into the passenger compartment.

Could this have just been condensation from a HOT heater core and the frigid air that my car graces me with? Or is this defiantly a bad heater core. I defiantly dont want to replace it unless i have too.

Please share your thoughts.

are you loosing coolant? monitor the overflow bottle to notice if you are loosing coolant.explain when car is overheating, also ensure cooling fan is operating properly

If you're dripping from the evaporator, your AC is working as intended. You'll always get some dripping in a hot climate as the AC removes humidity from the air.
