Heater Core Leaking

Hi All, I am going to be making a 700 mile trip from Pa.to Tn. My heater core is leaking,i was wanting to know if i could bypass it and run my air cond?any problems?it is alot hotter in tn.then in Pa.TIA.

Just loop the hoses for now, enjoy your trip.

Yes you can loop it, but beware that this time of year, it is a lot more likely that the drain in the heater/AC is plugged causing liquid leaking from condensation, than it is to have a leaky heater core. Check the leaking fluid to make sure it is antifreeze instead of just water. If it is a plugged drain, looping the heater core will not stop the "leak"

Gool luck on your trip.

I checked and it is definatly antifreeze,i'll loop it for now,so i can make the trip without it bursting all over my wife.Thanks again.
