I think it is your heater core, actually it most likely is. The heater core isn't the most expensive thing tho, it's going to be the labor involved since they have to take apart your dash .. IMO Honda has the worst setup for their dash's and they take an army to take it apart .. it's such a PITA ..

Most auto manufacturers are like that. I have never seen a heater core that was easy to replace.

Replacing the heater core is probably one of the worst jobs to do on our cars. And if you're smelling coolant inside the car, its most likely the culprit.

That sucks man.

it's such a pita that a lot of ppl usually bypass the heater core rather than try to replace it
