Default Help! Strange Coolant Leak

Hey everyone, I just purchased a 94' Chevy S10 Blazer and im having an issue. Coolant is leaking on my passenger side carpet. When I went out early this morning I noticed there was a puddle underneath the floor mat. I just vacumeed it up with the shop vac and cleaned the carpet with some Lysol but I dont know where the problem is. Is it possible its a leaking heater core? This is what my Father suggested. Other then this problem the truck is in great mechanical standing, it runs great and im going to try to get some pics up ASAP. If anyone has any ideas of what this problem may be please reply.

Heater core leak. I would recommend that you get a good service manual! It is not a real difficult job, just VERY time consuming and quite aggravating.

What swart said. It's not difficult, but there are little tricks on how to get to the hidden screws so you don't break stuff. Whomever owned mine before me broke off 3 of the screw ears.

There is a step-by-step with pics on the web: http://www.sytyarchives.com/howto/vi...imate_controls
