Get a piece of pipe that is the same size as the heater core hoses. Remove the hoses from the heater core, normally near the rear of the engine compartment 9on passenger side. Connect the 2 hoses together with the pipe as the "patch". Secure with clamps.
your heater core is blocked where the hoses connect to it suggest you have it looked at or you can disconnect the hoses your self in the engine compartment and use a hose to flush the heater system failing that you could have a faulty heater tap they ar known to clog and rust up as well good luck
were your heater control panel is at the back of the truck(if you have controls in the rear of the truck)is where the heater core is behind the the cover and the hoses connect under the van to the heater core.i`m assuming this is an 8 passenger van with carpet and rear seats.
The plumbing to the rear heater is metal lines under the body and then connect with rubber to the core in the heater, with the age of the van the leak is most likey the metal lines corroded. If you don't need the rear heater operational, the lines can be by-passed in the front of the van [ it will not affect the cooling system].
ford courier workhorse ,great van ---right when engine is hot feel the hoses that run into the heater ,also it could be the heater core was leaking and someone has joined the hoses together .if the hoses are connected and they are hot then ,try removing them and then flushing the heater with a hose pipe
yup, its running to that point before it dripps off. you can bypass the heater core to stop the leaking, but you won't have heat. take the two heater core hoses ( two hoses connected at the fire wall on passenger side) and connect them together. you will need a fitting to connect them with.
