Weird noise

[Ski]

Ok, I am guessing it is just that I need more water in the motor, but I can hear the water flow through the heater core (Im guessing) when I hit the gas. It increases and decreases with the gas. But just to make sure I thought I would ask ya'll. Is it that I just need to add water? I know I have a leak at my oil cooler.

Could be, but your core is probably getting clogged. I had that same noise for a while. And eventually it went away, but so did the heat. New heater core was $25 and takes about 30 minutes to change on or '96s.

Nah, the heater core is pretty cheap. Don't take long to change either, just remove the glove compartment (open partway and slide out) and you have pretty easy access. Remove the screws on the housing, remove the hoses (from in the engine compartment), pull out the core and reverse to install. Some of the screws are a little tricky to reach but it litteraly only took me about 30 minutes start to finnish. Not counting draining the cooling system and refilling it.
