1997 e320 antifreeze leaking under cowl.

Antifreeze leaking up by firewall behind the hood seal. The well under the brake booster has a puddle of antifreeze.

I don't see any obviously broken hoses there.

Anyone have any idea what I am getting into with this?

Thanks,
Jim

You'll need to remove the wiper and everything that covers the cowl from the top. Try to find a DIY either for the Wiper or Evaporator(do not take apart your interior at this point)

There is a number of connections there going to your engine, heater core and windshield reservoir. You'll need to take a closer look, find out which one it is and go from there.

Good luck.

Crap! That wiper looks scary. I am starting to suspect the windshield washer heater hoses.
