D16Y6 Engine Question

Hey guys, so heres the story.....

driving to work today and have my heater on pretty warm. suddenly it starts blowing colder air which i thought was kinda weird... anywyas im pretty close to work pull in the parking lot and pop the hood. look under the car and a little puddle of antifreeze so im trying to figure out what it is. i think a head gasket or....heater core maybe? if anyone knows what it is, or what it could be, it would be appreicated, thanks alot.

Kugan

and if it is a head gasket, how much should that run me ?

lol.. you dont seem mechanically inclined, the best advice i can give you is to take it to a reputable shop OR get a mechanically inclined friend to look at it.

Do you even know where the puddle was? Could be as simple as a leaky rad hose or heater hose, was the car overheating at all?

a thermostat wouldn't cause what he is explaining. And its the lower rad hose, not the top, and its not 8mm screws.
