Default Heater Core/Hose?

Heater core or Heater hose?
I have a 91 blazer 4.3l 4x4 4 door
I have a slight problem, a few days ago i noticed a leak in my interior.
Okay no big deal till i realised it was antifreeze.
it was fine till i washed my truck, the way i see it theres 2 things that could be wrong.
Accidentaly Disconnected the heater hose inside when i washed my engine compartment out or
the heater house is gone. Either way i cant get at it?
any tips or tricks i need this done asap.
Thanks.

The hardlines on the heater core protrude through the firewall. Meaning you can see if the issue is a heater hose being disconnected from the engine compartment. Most likely the problem is the heater core itself is leaking. As far as replacing the heater core, there are far worse vehicles than 1st gen Blazers. Patience is the only skill required.
