Welcome to JustAnswer Kia my name is Mark.

Does your van have the rear heater option?


Is it the tube that go to the rear heater that is leaking?





Customer replied 354 days and 21 hours ago.

yes to both questions. It is the pipe (T-shaped) that is attached to three hoses that is the source of the leak. Please tell me how it can be replaced. Where can I obtain a replacement part?

Thanks

Perfect, thanks. There has been a service bulletin released by Kia concerning these leaking heater tubes. I've uploaded a copy for you and it explains the procedure to replace them as well as give you the part numbers. This is a pretty extensive job that requires you work from under the vehicle as well as under the hood so a hoist is the best way to go about that.

I hope this information is helpful and let me know if you need further assistance with this.
