Were you running the A/C? If not yes it has to be from the heater core.

sorry then it's your heater core leaking. you could clamp both heater hoses, so it won't leak while you finish driving the car this year. I suspected my heater water valve was internally leaking, allowing some hot water to go through the heater core while I was running the AC. So clamped them off temporally. I used 2 old water bed wood frame brackets I had laying around. Looks like crap but works. You could do something similar until you take out the heater box to replace the core. Good luck.
