Hey guys, long time no see. Well since the last time I've been on, I bought another liberty (04 Colombia) and sold it cause it was falling apart to say the least, and now I'm on to an 05 Rocky Mountain WK. I absolutely love this one (pics to come). I just recently started to hear fluid moving behind my dash and low and behold, coolant all over my floor. Then the other day it overheated and I knew that because the heater core was leaking that it let air into the system and caused the overheat. So today I changed out the t stat and filled it back up (with Prestone 50/50, I'm pretty sure that its not HOAT, so should I flush it out?). Now I'm getting heat again and the engine is not overheating, but after a few minutes I'm getting the fluid sound again even with the heat off. So I guess what I'm asking is: is it imperative I replace my heater core, or can I get by until its warmer out to replace it? If so, shouldn't it not leak with the heat off? And/or should I just be filling it constantly until I do replace it?
