Default Help Please!!!!!

I own a 2000 Jeep grand cherokee laredo.. i recently have discovered that the coolant has been running low i have refilled the coolant and for the life of me couldnt find out where is was going... its not running hot or anything... i have noticed a greasy film on the windshield when i use the defrosters and found some coolant in the passanger floor compartment i read a article online that it is most likely the heater core what can i do to check and what is mostlikely the problem and cost to fix? thanks for the help!!!

Could be as simple as a cracked hose on the other hand the core itself could need replacing. Its located up under that dash on the pass side. They can be a pain. Goodluck

If it was the hose he would likely find antifreeze on the ground as well. But yes, it could be... Last I checked, heater cores dont cost a lot of money, but you will pay for it in labor and frustration when you change the part.
