Find the wet spot. Seriously, put a big piece of cardboard under it when its full and leave it overnight . If no drip let it idle over the cardboard. If it leaks it will let you know where to look. Near passenger firewall its around the heater core. Sides of motor may be a freeze plug. Take the radiator out, its only 2 bolts and 2 hoses. Look for stains. New radiator is under $100 bucks. Easy change. Feel around the passenger floor. Especially under the mat. If its there its probably the heater core
