The location of the leak. But we should ask do you smell anti freeze inside the vehicle?

The heater core is located under the dash on the passengers side so if it starts to leak anti freeze will go onto passenger side floor.

And that is a good question from Rowefast do you smell anti freeze or is it just plain water that you see on passenger side floor ?

You should run a 50/50 mix. It raises the boiling point of the coolant and cools the motor much better. Just check your heater hoses running to the heater core, replace the heater core if necessary.
