Issue with is you leave the leaky heater core in the vehicle, where does the water that was in the heater core go? I know the answer.

It sloshes around and eventually rots out the floorboard on the passenger side of the vehicle.

Always replace the thing if it leaks but can't imagine unless you are in the panhandle you ever would need a heater in Florida in the winter time.

Or that you would drive your car in the rain.
