The heater core is leaking and needs to be replaced.

+1 for JIM N. and depending on your vehicle its a big job. it can be done by the DIY but in most cases involves dash disassembly.

my recommendation if your going to tackle this yourself......do your back and neck a favor and remove the passenger front seat. its only four bolts and the extra room youll gain to lay on the floor flat and work is worth it.

Dear leaker,
If you have not already fixed the problem there are two other alternatives. One is to simply bypass the heater, if you live in florida or a similar climate. I have done it when poor and it is ok. Or you can try a product called Bars Leak. I have used it on a couple of cars with leaking cores and it did work. I have used it on other cars and I never had a problem of another kind as a result either. It will seal it in minutes if it is going to work. I would not use the other stop leaks, some people swear by them, but I have always had success with BArs leak.
Hope this helps.
