So 2 days ago I was driving with a friend and noticed a funny smell in my car and at the time I didn’t think of it and let it go. Well next day which was yesterday I was driving my car again and realized that the odor that I was smelling was antifreeze my Civic’s cooling fluid. I checked the engine bay and nothing leaking was visible and I couldn’t smell anything so I poked my nose inside the car again and guess what, ewwwww it stunk. So yeah it’s definitely my heater core as I have replaced the radiator already and  most of the hoses were replaced when I did the engine swap.  Oh and also while driving last night, I started hearing a scrubbing loud wheel noise. I thought it was just my tires but later noticed it got louder and louder. So today I looked into it and yeah my drivers side driveshaft outer CV-Joint is gone and making a whole lot of noise.

I will try to fix the CV Joint in the next day or so and after that look at the heater core issue. From the reasearch that I have done it’s not easy to replace the heater core as you have to pull the whole dash out to get to the heater core which is behind the blower.
