You are probably seeing the A/C drain tube. There is no drain tube
for the heater core, (at least no specific one). Most times on most
GM cars, a heater core leak will spill into the passenger compartment.

I replaced my heater core on my 94 Sunbird. There was a drain tube from the
plastic that housed the heater core which would direct the leak out on the
driveway & not inside the car.

Now I can see when water comes out and it no longer drains onto

You must have a special one. I've done lot's of heater cores on
J-body vehicles, and if the core itself is leaking, it will leak into
the passenger compartment. Cleaning up the carpet usually takes
longer then replacing the heater core.

It's the AC drain tube Harry. My 87 Chevy Cavalier Z-24 .. well when the
plastic heater core hose decided it needed to split, leaked about a gallon
on Antifreeze on the passanger side floor board. It wasn't much fun cleaning
up the mess.

Harry , The tube you`re seeing is the drain for the A/C evaporator
core. This lets the condensation from the core run on the ground
instead of filling the heater plenum. I have seen them get plugged
and run the water all over the floor in the pass com. Look under youre
car on a hot day with the a/c on and you will see the water running out
of the hose.
