If you are referring to coolant draining into the car when the heater hoses
are removed fromt he heater and bulkhead fittings, yes it will. I recommend
removing the foot well carpet, laying down plenty of towels and have a bucket
handy. You won't get much (about a pint) but the lines are a low spot and you
can't drain them from the engine side.
