I have a 94 Cadillac Seville. Both front and back floor on passenger side have antifreeze fluid leaking inside. Thought at first I had spilled antifreeze accidentally. Help.

This is a normal occurrence if your cooling system has never been service. Especially when the cooler weather sets in. The heater core has been eaten away by old antifreeze that has become acidic and corroded away the soft brass fins inside the heater core. take it to your local garage and have the heater core replaced and the cooling system flushed. New antifreeze every 2 -3 years and maybe some water pump lubricant would be a good idea. You could have had the water pump seal go bad and the expansion plugs on your engine as well. Hopefully they are ok, this is why i recomend the lubricant. Barrs' stop leak brand has had this lubricant for a long time and is a good brand to use.
good luck.........

You have a heater core leak. You can by-pass the core if you can't afford to have it fixed right away.(it is kind of expensive) If you open the hood look to the firewall, all the way in the back of the engine compartment there will be two hoses. Disconnect them and connect the two hoses together, this will by-pass the system. If you go to the auto part store they sell a little platic tube that you can use to put the two hoses together. Then when you can afford to have the core replaced they can re-install the hoses.

You have a heater core leaking problem. Could be core itself or lines connecting same. I'd check lines first as it is improbable that both your front and back cores started leaking together. Yes, Caddy's have two, one in front and one for rear, both located on passenger side.

heater middle has a leak in it. It in all probability rusted out. may well be intense priced, each and each automobile is distinctive. attempt Bars coolant leak. You pour it in the radiator. Its in basic terms momentary fix. to stop leak, locate hoses the place they arrive via fire wall (engine area)(one in and one out with coolant) and pull them off of coil and connect including coupling. you wont have any leakage, yet you will no longer have any warmth additionally. To get by using till you get warmth fixed, pass purchase a seat pad that connect on your power outlet.

check your heater core. remove the panel under the glove box to see if you can locate where the leak is coming from. the heater core looks like a small radiator
