Default Coolant leak INSIDE passenger side footwell.

Well, drove the car for about 2 hours today, parked and noticed some coolant leaking INSIDE of the car- by the passenger side footwell area. Not too sure where it's coming from since it's kind of dark out, any idea's?

It's not gushing or anything, but a good amount.

Tell me about it. I was parked, started up my car, my gf gets into the car and she's like, why is there green sh*t all over your floor mat, I went nuts. I left the car with a friend's shop, he said he had to rip the entire dash out just to see where's the leak coming from :sad:

Have you by any chance just changed your heater hoses? If i recall correctly, when i changed my motor in my 86 crx dx, i bent the coupler where the heater hose goes into the firewall. When i first ran the car after i finished, anitfreeze came in through the firewall and into the car, because i had bent the thing, where the heater hose attatches. I had to take the hose off, and make the connection thing round again, where i obviously bent it trying to take off the old hose. Like posted above, it could be the heater core. But like i said, if you've just had your hoses changed, it could be what i said. And also, be sure the connection things for the hoses are tight.
