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.

   Freddy,

   What year, as my early advice may not fit.A  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.
