Could Really Use Some Help! (spots of coolant in engine bay, heat not hot)
i have a 94 sc400 with 190k on it.
i have owned it for about 4 months now.
my heat has been only warm for 1 month now,it used to be very hot.
when i look at the engine there are spots of coolant splattered on the engine.
there is no leak that can be seen,and i can never see how or where the coolant spots are coming from.
i hope someone can shed some light on this mystery its got me stumped.
thanks to all.

Can u smell coolant inside the car? Feel around the glovebox area to see if u can notice any dampness.
Good Luck,

I think that's where the heater core is located, but if you are getting splatters in the engine bay then it couldn't be the core. The core may be causing the loss of heat, but not the splatters. Just and FYI, AllData lists replacing the heater core to be a 13.7 hour job. Not fun.
