Hi, this is Bo, an auto expert on RepairPal's Car Genius team! Looks like your Charger’s got a case of the coolant blues. If coolant is pouring out from behind the engine and the heater isn’t working, it might be a heater core hose or the hose fittings at the firewall. Worse case? You could be looking at a bad intake manifold gasket or a freeze plug issue, which can also cause coolant to leak at the back of the engine. With overheating and heater problems, you don’t want to risk a cracked head or a blown gasket, so get a chem test performed to check for exhaust gases in the coolant passages. If you need any further advice or want help finding a trusted RepairPal shop in your area, please feel free to call us at 877-913-1554!
