I pulled out of my drive way yesterday and I smell anti-freeze like the radiator just split in half. Then it goes away, I pulled over, no leaks in the engine bay. Get back into the car, no leaks inside on the carpet anywhere, as I'm driving I can still smell it, not as strong as it was, all the way to work. As I am driving I noticed the windows fogging up with a oily substance.

My heater core is leaking (not bad enough to have soaked anything in the car, yet, that I can find)

Are there any tutorials or tech articles on replacing the heater core?

Do I have to remove the whole dash to get to it?
 
Well, since no one else has replied to help you out, I will. Yes, it does require that you pull the entire dash, regardless of year, make, or model. The HVAC unit is in several different boxes. The heater core is in one of those (unsure which one) but if you have a Chiltons manual from Autozone you should be able to figure it out.
