its your heater core and when it goes out you have antifreeze all over your floor on the passenger SIDE. YOU COULD HAVE A STUCK THERMOSTADT ALSO , MAKE SURE YOU REPLACE IT AT THE SAME TIME.

if there's a # on it you can do a search , fix the leak , get it back together , top off the coolant and see if the fans are running when the temp , gets high , if you have A/C they may come on when you use it then you'll know if they work , change the thermostat , then the temp, sensor
