Hey all, a little off topic, but I need some help diagnosing a problem:

My girlfriend has a 95 VW Golf, and I have a feeling that the heater core is leaking.

Symptoms:
1) Had to top off the coolant with about a litre of water after only 3 months of summer weather.
2) When the defrost is turned on the window actually fogs up worse than if it were off.

The 'fog' only dries after many hours or wiping it off, leading me to believe there might actually be some glycol being blown up through the vents.

What do you guys think - I am off the mark on this one??

Thanks for the help,

Jordan

hell if your wondering if its just condensation
or anti freeze/coolant i'd think your nose would tell you right off

when ever i've had a heater core leak
the smell was allways the first sign
(drips or puddles would be next)
