type44 how do i know if i have a heater core leak?

[kbogach]

I waited until it poured down and whole car was full of steam. Not good idea. Don't wait. Blower motor R&R is a good idea.  According to sympthoms you described you have pretty clear diagnosis.

  i have been getting a few small drops of coolant in my drivers footwell, up 
  towards the accelerator pedal, once in awhile..  sometimes smell a faint 
  coolant smell when running the heater, but not all the time.   could this be 
  the start of a heater core leak? 

  would it be a good time to do the blower motor the same time as the heater 
  core (blower sticks sometimes) to save on labor time?   
  TIA
