Ryan- Stick your hand behind the heater where that foam piece you taped up is and run it on normal. You will feel if there are any more leaks. I tried duct tape but apparently it didn't stop all my leaks. I poured fast tack adhesive all over the place; the foam/heater box/and hoses themselves and now I don't have any leaks. Also-check to make sure your rugs arent in the way of the heater footwell ducts, it is typical for this to happen-the ducts are up on the tunnel by the heater. I don't remember which place-but there was a bulletin either in the bulletin book or dmcnews that describes this problem so check that out. If this doesn't improve your problems, then you'd want to check out the vac lines. Vent should just come out the door vents and the one above the radio, bi-level comes out the vents and footwells, heater just comes out the footwell vents-there is a description in the shop manual where the air will flow (in the heating section I believe) at a given setting-check the book and you should be all set.
