Ten days after I picked TFrog up, after detailing the interior and putting two coats of Mother's on the outside, I'm sopping up green liquid that's pooling in the rear passenger side.
Somehow, I don't think that's right...
Back to the shop.

Green liquid in the *rear* passenger side? could a container of antifreeze in your trunk be leaking?

check for dead alien under rear seat... or a forgotten bottle of Simple Green?
Did it get the rear via the front passenger side? If so, then it's a heater core.
Other than that, I have no idea why it'd be there.

Drove over a heard of caterpillars??? :-D
Radiator fluid drips down from behind the glove box (I assume), and runs down through the front seat to the rear, where it pools. It is definitely the brand-new heater core.
That means that the dealership a) installed a defective core, or b) did not pressure test the core before installation, or c) lied to me about using a flow restrictor, or d) mangled the thing during installation.
And now, because it's leaking after 10 days, I have no option but to take TFrog back to the very same people who screwed this up. Makes me sick.

That sucks dwight! Mine only seemed to puddle on the passenger front seat when it went.

Turns out, it wasn't the heater core again.
The "mechanic" had simply left a hose unattached.
So... They left the instrument pod dangling. They fixed the problem with the clutch switch, that kept blowing fuses, but fuses kept blowing. And they left a hose unattached.
Quality is Job One.
