Replying to: lzc (Sep 12, 2008 6:02 am) I believe that if the heater core is leaking you should smell a sweeter smell from the antifreeze and there will be a film over the windshield. I'm not sure about the CRV but I had a Taurus that had this problem and I just disconnected the heater core and the car ran fine just no heat which was fine in the summer but a minnesota winter with the windows down so not to frost up the windshield wasn't so fun. I hope it's something other than the heater core as it's located behind the fire wall and fixing it would require removing the dash. At least that was what the case was in the taurus. Good luck you may want to try a shop vac and suck up all the water that you can and see it the amount of water in the car increases after that. Good Luck.

Replying to: phisher (Sep 12, 2008 6:33 am) Hey Thanks guys for your replies.   I was sort of hoping that you weren't going to say it was the heater core, but that would make a lot of sense, given the symptoms. I've been driving this vehicle for just on a year now and only recently noticed this problem. The actual vehicle itself is a dream to drive, so I'm going to take it to the local Honda service agent (he only fixes Honda's) tomorrow and see what he says.   Once again, thanks.   Cheers, Mike T.
