Hello everyone my first post on there. 

I have the the issue of the engine coolant leaking into my drivers side footwell  from the two aluminium pipes connected to the heater matrix near the clutch pedal. I turned the AC on in my car and can see the coolant dripping from one of the aluminium pipes. Now I want perform the job myself as the local garages are trying to rip me off by making me replace the heater matrix.

Any advice me on the best procedure to perform repair to stop the leak ? And how can I remove the panel the on left side of the clutch pedal so I can access the pipes easier? 

Really appreciate the advice guys! 

Thanks! 🙂
