The heater cores seldom go bad, as the tubes in the core are quite thick. Take it out, put it in a pan of water and check it with air pressure. The heater control valve rubber control diaphragm is a constant source of coolant leaks, because the rubber cracks. It is a bit of a project, but NAPA auto parts sold a repair kit, for about $10. Ask for Balkamp 660-1000.
Good luck.
