Freddy,
What year, as my early advice may not fit. I wrote a detailed instruction
for taking out an early dash and rebuilding the AC/Heater box. I'll send
that if u can't locate it.
What area of the car do u see coolant? The AC Heater box has a drain hose
discharge under your battery area. If water from there, leak contained in
that box.
The center console can detach and come out semi-easily. Disconnect battery
first! Your gauges with a live positive bouncing around is not your friend.
Then you have full access to those tubes.

Hello everyone. I have a heating problem :( I followed all the
advice and
fixed the heating valve, which most likely has not been used for 40
years.
So far everything well. But when I open the valves being retrofitted
in the
engine room. antifreeze started to flow under the car . It is not
the heater
registry leaking. (no antifreeze inside the car) I fear it is one of
the two
pipes located under the center Console. I have taken out what I can
to see
down there and I see that there is some antifreeze there on the
bottom under
the tubes. Otherwise it is very difficult to see anything down
there. what
do I do now ? anyone who has fixed this problem before? Can I add
new hoses
next to the pipes and connect the old ones away.? all answers and
tips will
be very well received.
Happy Easter from north Norway.
