Leaking from a bolt through Fire all to the Engine Compartment? It is not leaking inside of car.. Could this be the heater core? Some cars you have to take out the dash board, is this required on this vehicle? What is the best way to access heater core please? Thank you Margaret Tallahassee, FL

There is a access door to change the heater core no dash removal needed.They dont leak often I have only replaced a couple in all the years of fixing saturns.Is it leaking coolant?There is a water drain in the firewall for condensation to leak out with the ac on.Are you sure its coolant?

If your sure its leaking coolant from the inside ac/heater box it has to be the heater core.I have never seen a heater core leak outside the car though.Are you sure its not a hose?
