Default COOLANT LEAK

hi. i was just driving around one night and i start smelling this kind of "fishy" odor in my car when i turned on my heater. it stuck so much so i turned it off but i still smelled it. i let my car idle for a while and checked my engine but it was nothing obvious or major. so i went and my friend tells me he felt a drip on his foot under the glove department so i pull over and we checked it out. then we find a puddle of green fluid on the carpet and we discover that i have a coolant leak. it leaks from both sides of the glove department. does anybody know how to fix it or how i can find it where its leaking from? ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED!!! thanks in advance.

Sounds like the heater core hoses are leaking... or the heater core itself is leaking.

best thing you can do first is take off your glove box and see where the leak is comming from (although its most likely going to be the heatercore). the glovebox is held on by 2 clips on either side near the back (consult owners manual). see where the leak is comming from. try taking a picture if you can and other members can help you further.
