Heater Core Replacement on 1990 Buick Wagon

I have a 1990 Buick wagon with smoke coming in the vents after the car
heats up. I suppose it is the heater core. I don't want to spend big
bucks getting it fixed at a garage.

Which is better -- adding leak repair or connecting inflow and outflow
hoses to bypass core?

If I decide to fix this does anyone know how big a job it is on this
model? Is it hard to get to and replace?

Thanks,

Bojangles

Bypass the core until you repair it. Which Buick wagon is it? Makes a
difference in how bad the repair is.
