For my 97 SET there where 2 small leaks at the same time. One was at head gasket front left corner (tranny end) the other was the heater coil. If there is no oil contamination by the coolant you can get away with it with just a head retorque. The service bulletin for the procedure is at Townsend.com.
For the core you can get a new one for about 200CAD and install it yourself. In one of the other 900NG website I posted a very detailed procedure for it. Based on other cars experience most mechanic overcharge for this job, on the 900NG the job is simple. After having it done once I think I could do the whole job in 1.5h
Before starting on these jobs eliminate other possible causes that Dean mentioned.
If you are going to change the water pump, watch for the casting burr on the hose outlet. After I did the job it leaked from there and I had to file the burr off after every thing was in place. a pain in the neck!
Cheers
Giovanni
