Heater Core pipes...leaking

[ryankelly10953]

When i was getting my car smoged the other week i noticed i little leak coming from the pipe that goes to your heater core, Its leaking right at the sensor location. the guy at the smog shop say that you can remove these pipes and buy a fitting and just screw the sensor back in...and the only thing you wont have is heat, but i live in san diego and i dont need any heat...Does anyone know anything about this it dosent leak a lot its more like a seep, but its corroding my water pump. any help would be great, Thanks

First you need to determine where this leak is coming from. From your description it sounds like its leaking around the ect sensor. If thats the case just take it out clean it up and reseal it with some teflon tape. Simple as pie

If it turns out that the tube is bad, honeslty I would just replace it. Your liable to spend more time and money trying to eliminate it then just getting a used or new one and fixing it right.

Im not sure what you mean by corroding the waterpump and we cant tell where your leak is coming from without looking at it, but if you can clear this up a lil bit maybe we can give you more helpful answers.
