The leak is probably at the heater core.

Yeah, sounds like the heater core. Good luck changing it. Its kind of a PITA but not impossible.

Temporary fix until you replace the heater core. A lot neater than driving around with a puddle on the floor, losing coolant, and having your engine overheat.

disconnect the two hoses going into the firewall (probly partialy drain coolant first). they are a slightly diff size I think, but find some way to connect them together so that they still flow, just not inside the car.
