all i know is its a lot of work replacing a heater core in any car and requires removing the dash and all thats attached to it to get to the core itself. www.autozone.com can give you a general idea of how to do it yourself but i know u can bypass it pretty easily to get you by for the time being u just have to get the right size hose and the fittings. disconnect where it goes in and out of the dash and hook them up together and nothing more will go into the core and it'll stop leaking untill you can get to doing it. the hoses should be connected into the firewall just might take a little looking but they should be 3/4 to and inch in diameter. goodluck
