A coolant leak on a 93 cavalier could be anyplace where coolant flows. Check all hoses, connections, the radiator, and heater core for any possible leak spots.
To bypass the heater corer in a Chevy Cavalier, disconnect the heater core hoses at the firewall. using a hose splice available at an auto parts, slide the hoses on the ends of the splice. tighten the hose clamps down. Check the coolant level in case it is low due to losing any during the procedure. Wash the ground thoroughly because any coolant left is toxic to animals.

There are 2 coolant hoses. They are fat. They are attached to the top of the radiator and to the bottom of the radiator. Then there are two heater hoses on this model you can barely see them. They are alot smaller and will be underneeth the exhaust manifold. They are connected to the heater core at the firewall and the water pump housing tube and the coolant outlet adapter. The one on the coolant outlet adapter is the only end you can see without any trouble.

Interior heat uses the engine heat. If the engine is still cold, the heater will blow cold. If the engine is warm and the heater is blowing cold, you have a problem with the heater. Check the water in the radiator and see if it is rusty. If it is rusty, change your coolant, thermostat, and hoses. Look at the heater hoses when someone steps down on the gas pedal. If a hose collapses, replace your heater hoses. Otherwise take it to a mechanic.
