I just addressed both of these issues you mentioned on my car. I replaced ALL of the hoses on my car including the entire heater circuit. To reach the heater control valve and related hoses I put the car on jack stands on approached some of them from under the car. The only one that was a total pain in the a$$ was the hose that connects to the return pipe under the manifold. It took a lot of WD40 and coaxing. I would say that most likely it is your heater control valve that is leaking, mine was along with about 4 other hoses which prompted me to replace all of the 25 year old hoses. The TABs are the bolts that connect the trailing arms to the frame. The car needs to be on jack stands (or the rear wheels need to be suspended) to replace them. Once the wheels are raised you can loosen the bolts and spin them with a wrench. Observe the trailing arm while doing so and if it moves up and down the bolt is bent and should be replaced. Replacement is easy of you have a 5 speed and do not live in the rust belt. Just be sure to count the alignment shims before removing the bolts and have a alignment done when you are finished. Oh, and you need to torque the bolts to 55lbs WITH the weight of the car on the suspension. I simply backed onto some rams to tighten the bolts. All this said, there are a lot of people with more experience and ability than I who lurk this group, they will undoubtedly chime in. Also check the archives for more info. Have fun!
