Well, my 1997 850 with 235,000 miles is starting to annoy me. I changed the timing belt 2 months ago, changed the air pump and breather system a month ago and just got the car back from the mechanic who did the clutch and rear main seal--the first time I've taken a car to a mechanic in around five years!

Well, today I noticed the floor under the driver's floor mat was damp. I first figured it was just wet from snow melt, being March in Ohio, but no, it's coolant. There's not TOO much there, nor is it really leaking all that quickly.

Over the past few months I've noticed the coolant was slowly dropping, but I found a loose hose clamp with some seepage and figured that was it. The coolant level is fine right now.

So, without tearing everything apart (I don't have time today), what is the most likely culprit? I'm sure it'll be the heater core, since it is always the worst thing, but is it likely to just be a hose? I'm not looking forward to taking the 850's dash all apart...again...
