If any coolant is coming out of the A/C drain, it's a bad heater core.

It's not leaking where the hoses attach to the nipples. There is an outlet
in
the firewall which I believe is primarily for the AC condensation to exit.

is were the coolant is coming from. I haven't noticed any wetness in the
carpet
(at least not yet).
