The rear heater and valve assembly is still pressurized even with the
valve off. Turning it off only stops the flow. Your probably have a
leaking core.

Subject: Riddle me this and Riddle me that - Strange "Leak"

Alright, after the last question I asked I am almost reluctant to ask
again - but I am truly stumped.

I have an 85' GL 7 passenger, manual, 1.9L with A/C. There has been a
growing wet spot on the floor running from the middle of the front of
the middle seat to about 3/4 of the way back along the sliding side
door. I
thought I had a leaking window or hole in the floor but this is not the
case. I was working on running some new rear speaker wire - I pulled
back the carpet to find it is not water soaking the carpet at all but
what appears to be coolant. So my question is how the hell can this
happen? and why?

It was such an unexpected discovery that I have no clue (as usual). The
rear heater does not work and I have turned off the valve to it under
the rear seat if that matters. So what gives?

Any advice is greatly appreciated.
