Please Help: Air Conditioner Leaking - Toyota Yaris Forums

BDD · 06-16-2009, 09:17 AM

You'll want to take apart the dashboard and get to the heater core. You're looking for broken hose, a bad clamp, or a cracked core. As far as it being clogged, I'm not sure how things are getting into your coolant. Are you changing the coolant at normal intervals? From what I understand, coolant eventually becomes corrosive and can eat gaskets that might end up in your cooling system (please correct if I'm wrong).

I believe the paper being sucked into the vent is unrelated to your heater core being clogged, but with the dashboard open, you might be able to take the stuck paper out.

It's important that you fix this issue fast or you may overheat and ruin the car. Aside from that, coolant isn't all that great to have leaking into your interior either.
