Coolant leak not sure if it is heater core
I have coolant leaking on my 89 GT. It is dripping from the passenger side exhaust pipe ( right at the bend), right in front of where the dash board ends. The interior on the passenger side seems dry. I do smell coolant when I first turn the heat on. If it is the heater core, I plan on bypassing this, but am not exactly sure if this is my problem. Please help, I am a new owner to this mustang as of last week, i know nothing about these cars and have not done much work on cars either. So I guess you can say I dug a hole for myself!

Check the fire wall on the passenger side for the drain for the A/C and Heater box. It won't drip in the car. I you smell coolant with the A/C or Heater you probably have a leak.

Thanks very much for your help. If you don't mind me asking another question how did you do it? I have searched all threads everywhere and it seems that the best way is to get a connector that fits 3/4" and 5/8" and connect the two hoses. Is this right?
