    Have a Vintage Air Gen 4 unit that's leaking anti-freeze via the condensation overflow drain tube. Hadn't noticed anything unusual during the hot summer months, but started about 3 months or so ago after returning from a drive with the heater on. I don't let her set and usually drive her about an hour or more once a week. Anytime that I have the heat on during a drive, I notice the leak after it cools down. Replaced the Vintage Air Gen 2 about 2 years ago with the Gen 4 and just started seeing the antifreeze leaking via the drain tube a few months ago. Any input??? Thanks!!!!

    Have you contacted Vintage Air? No one knows their products better than they do.

    Going to call them Monday, but thought it wouldn't hurt to get some input from some of you folks first. Thanks!

    Boy, what a coincidence, the VP of Vintage Air is also named Rick Love.

    If it's leaking from the condensate tube, then I'd say pretty good chance the heater core has a leak.

    I found the pdf file on how to install but nothing so far in the way of repairing one. Since I've never had one in my hands I have to wonder. Are these units even serviceable? I see lot's of gluing.
