I drive a 94 mitsubish eclipse for a commuter car.  Lately, it's been smelling like antifreeze inside and the windshield fogs up.  That tells me the heater core is leaking.  Thats one of the jobs I dread the most on a newer air conditioned car.

I grabbed the manual to see how bad it was going to be.  It started out looking easy until I turned the page where it said refer to chapters 11 and 12 for dash removal.  I took today off to replace it.  What a PITA!  It took me almost 7 hours.  (it was still better than being at work)

It better last a long time!
