Anyone know how to fix the problem?
There was some coolant leak on the passenger side and now there some on driver side. Its leaking out side of the car though.
I know theres a blockage in the heater core, how do i unblock it?

Worse comes to worse i will bypass the heater hose, but i want to try fixing it first.

i think its the heater core...
the best way is change it....
also u can discontect them...just go ur engine bay u can see 2 water hose conect on ur firewall, they are the in let and out let for ur heat core, u can just hook them up, then the water wont leak again but ur heater wont get warm again, lol!
hope that help!

but still under engine bay?

maybe your hoses are leaking. (inlet[has a valve]/outlet hoses to heater core)

something like this might gives you better insight? lol
this is from engine bay view:

and then continued from the heater unit view:

your heater valve can be used as landmark to orientate

i got a rad hoses replacement diy here (http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=98347).. it also tells you how to replace radiator if theyre leaking too.
