pressure tested the old core and it's leak free as far as i can tell. ofcourse i already bought a replacement one for $105cdn. does that little tiny black hose have coolant running through it or is it just a vacuum line? the other two lines that run in and out of the core were sealed good and there arent any leaks from outside the car besides through what i think is the airconditioner drain hole that all the antifreeze dumped out of.

what other ruber hoses may be near the heatercore? there isn't one above it is there?
