That is a no-brainer: fix anti-freeze leak - 300-400

Hey a tampon worked for the Bullrun guys. Use one of those for the leak then get the center console door fixed / replaced.

What is the source of the A/F leak?

Yeah, $3-400 would allow for replacing most of the cooling system, and chances are it's a gasket.

Yeah, don't monkey-fist the worm gear clamps too much. You can overdo it, snug is fine. Where exactly is it leaking? Engine side or radiator side?

Could be a problem with your heater core. See if you can grab a pic and post it up.
