98 S-10 Fluid leak

Strange leak under passenger side, between wheel well and firewall. Seems to be coming from lower side of the air conditioner condenser. The plastic box or cover where the 2 AC lines go in. The fluid appears to be radiator fluid, it has the greenish color and does not appear to be Refrigerant from the AC, and the AC works great but has a strange radiator smell to it. My original thinking was it was the heater box but the lines are to far away from the leak, around the middle of firewall.

Any Ideas?

Thanks

Welcome to heater core hell..... Sounds like a small leak BUT it will get bigger. It is leaking and draining out the A/C drain.

Well that's what I was afraid of. Hey I live in California and I never use the heat that often could I just join the 2 heater hoses together and bypass the heater core? for a quick fix?

Yes.

I have the older 92 body style and when I replaced the heater core, I had it done in about an hour. It was actually fairly easy. Dropping the computer and taking the kick panel off gave me the room to take it out.

I'm not sure how bad the newer style is.
