Wuts goin on!! Hope yall guys can help me out here since im really hoping its not the heating core or something like that because i got estimates for labor for $500. But id say about a week a go on the passenger side floor a puddle of water/anitfreeze seems like always there. Mostly when i put the air on.I dunno but its making my car stink real bad. Dirty socks matter of fact. Sometimes when i turn it makes this noise like there is water swishing back and forth in the dashboard. Hopefully this is a quick fix because i have to replace my windshield and pay the aftermarket parts. Get at me. Thanks.

Nope, sounds like a heater core for me too. If i were you i would do most of the work myself. like taking the dash out your self ETC.

sorry to say it sounds like a heater core. like stated above. i would try and do as much your self as possible. just try and take your time and try not to break any clips and such. i would deffenatly keep an eye on your coolant level, as im sure it gets low with the leak.

Definetly the heater core man. Go buy a Haynes manual for the 8g galant and get a heater core from a parts store and get er done!

You sure it couldn't also be the drain for the ac being backed up and clogged. Thats what happened to mine and it had the same symptoms.

I dont know what a broken heater core sounds like but I agree with Chuck.

I had the same symptoms. Look for a post by me with keywords running +water. The solution can be found in the post. Why not try this first since its free as opposed to a $500 core.

if it was just the AC then there wouldn't be any antifreeze on the floor.
