HELP!!! Heater Core

HELP!!! Heater Core
I just bought a '96 960 Sedan. It has a leak in the heater core, which is causing my car to stink like antifreeze, my windows always being fogged up and not being able to see a damn thing, and the worst part... antifreeze alll over the carpetting. I really could care less if I freeze to death this winter, but I can not handle the fogged up window, soggy carpets, and the constant having-to-put-in-water-every-damn-day routine. I've read that you can bypass the heater core so you don't have to worry about the leak. I have the electronic climate control so changing the heater core myself or even having a mechanic do it is something I can in no way afford. I'm a poor college student and really need help! Can anyone please help me to bypass the heater core? I am not very mechanical but I can follow idiot-proof instructions. Thanks

They are under the hood.
Sorry I don't have a picture but open the hood and look next to the brake booster. It is a big black round thing. You will see 2 hoses going inside the car. Back a little bit you will also see a valve inline. You need to disconnect both hoses where they go inside the car and join them together.
