Probably coolant from your AC heater under your dash. Take off your glove box and it is behind the plastic panel. Take it out and inspect it.

get access to it and try to pinpoint where the leak is coming from. Sounds like your carpet is already soaked so you might as well run the engine while looking at the heater core so you can see where it's squirting out from.

By inspect it, they mean it's $20 at NAPA so just replace it.

Wow, $20... if its that cheap it would be hella easier just to
buy the thing and replace it while you're down there.

If you just finished a swap. Make sure that the heater lines running into the fire wall (heater core) are not bent at the fittings, and that they are properly clamped.
