I'll have to go rent one if I can't visually tell where the leak is, much appreciated.

I can confirm that it is coolant. I believe it's coming from a hard pipe under the dash to the right of the accelerator.

Must be one of the two pipes which feeds the heater core.

Yeah that's what I think. I began taking apart the dash so I can get a good look at everything under there. Going to take me a little bit to get it all done as it's the first time I've ever taken apart a dash.

The heater core can be removed from the driver's side w/o removal of the dash but at least you'll be able to get a better look at things w/the dash out of the way.

Well the whole car is a mess, so taking the dash apart may let me get a feel for everything. I found a plug that was unplugged on the brakes that I have no clue what it was for.

What were the wire colors? Either it's the brake light switch or a switch for the cruise control system.

I can't recall the color now, the plug was white and it was next to a black one.

I know it's not a good description, but it's what I could recall at the moment.

The brake switch has a Green/White and a White/Green wire thus if it has other wire colors then it's for the cruise control.

I'm guess it's for the cruise control, it doesn't currently work so makes sense.
