Hi, Does anyone have experience successfully repairing heater cores by epoxy or some type of glue. The other option would be an inexpensive new heater cores if repairing them is hopeless. Here is my delema: My front heater core emits the nice sweet smell of antifreeze when I turn the heater and fan on. I assume that I have a small pinhole leak and I want to try to patch it. I checked the hose clamps and they are tight and not leaking. The new front heater cores I have seen cost $200. I don't mind pulling the dash to get to it. I'm just a little short on money right now. I want to make sure the patch will stay for another 100,000 miles. This is the only part in my entire coolant system I haven't replaced. Suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks again, Blake Heinlein http://members.accessbee.com/heinlein
