97 Grand Am Won't Hold Water....Leaking at firewall from some kind of drain spout???

I thought it might be the heater core, any idea how difficult to replace or what a dealer would charge?

Don't know what a dealer charges now-a-days. I would imagine at least 4 hours labor. It is not easy. Make sure they put in a copper one, not the cheap Aluminum one. I always put them in myself in my car. The last one cost ~$30 USD and was copper. It is two years old now. The aluminum ones only last 1 year in my car.

It's the middle of summer, so the first thing you should do is connect your heater hoses in a short circuit so you can drive it. Then you have a month or two to figure out how to pay for it. I don't have a Grand Am, but on most cars it's pure torture to replace.

My 6000 is 17 yo and I've never had to replace a core. MOTORS? YEAH
