Ok so I pulled my car out of the garage to take some pictures. I let it sit out in the heat for a little bit not sure if this is what caused my problem but when i went back out and started it up I had a bunch of liquid not sure if it was coolant or not but it came out from under the dash in a few places I dont know what caused it at all and I hope this doesnt set me back from getting the car on the road next week. So if anyone could help me find out what was the problem that caused that it would be greatly appreciated.

Your heater core just went to heaven.  :laughing:  Either replace it, or you can bypass the heater core with your coolant lines. It depends on if you want a heater or not.

Was it straight water, or did it smell like anti freeze?(please tell me you don't run straight water in the radiator)
If you have a/c and it is in working order it may have been condensation from it, depends on how long it ran before you shut it off and left it and how much water came out from under the dash.

it was deff. not straight water so it was probally anti-freeze kinda smelled funky and i can tell you it wasnt a/c condenstation bc the a/c works plus i only had the car on for the few seconds it took to pull it out of the garage and the few secs to pull it back in when i was done

How about make it simpler...did it come from the passenger side? If so (likely) its the heater core. You can A) Replace it and have a heater or B) Block it off, you can drive it, no heater

It was more on the drivers side coming out of this little vent thing under the steering wheel and then it also came from right under the stereo but i was looking on yearone to find a new heater core and they only had one that would fit my car if i didnt have a/c so i dont know what to do about that.

Heater core will useually just leak down on the passenger side under the glovebox, I'm stumped.(doesn't take much)
If you find a good radiator shop they should be able to repair the old core, or make a new one to fit. There was a shop in 'Vegas that did one for my truck when it was in for a new Rad., came out nice. Sorry I'm not more help.
