If you are referring to coolant draining into the car when the heater hoses 
are removed fromt he heater and bulkhead fittings, yes it will.  I recommend 
removing the foot well carpet, laying down plenty of towels and have a bucket 
handy.  You won't get much (about a pint) but the lines are a low spot and you 
can't drain them from the engine side.
