Classic heater core problems, the best thing to do is bypass it for now (you will have NO heat) if you want to drive the car-Bypassing means you disconnect the hoses at the firewall and join them together-saves your interior, and probably your engine since that particular leak is a major problem. Heater cores, especially on Fords, are difficult to do, so shop around for a fix. The part is not overly expensive, but the repair in terms of labor can be quite expensive.
