Aux. water pump or heater core leaking?
For some time now, I've known that I'd need to replace my auxiliary water pump. When getting a flush and fill, they noted a couple of years ago that it was leaking. Also, I've noticed the last couple of winters the lack of heating capacity when at idle.
Fastforward to now. I believe that I am detecting the smell of antifreeze from "inside" the car. Along with that, for some time, I believe I can hear water sloshing and/or gurgling in the dash area at a fast start/stop. From these clues, who can tell me what is likely the culprit? I suppose what I'm really asking for is how the core and aux pump symptoms differ.
