The car is leaking coolant on the front passenger floor. I have had it to the mechanics many times and they have not found a leak but when ever the heater is used in the car we have to put in coolant since the light keeps coming on. Can you please help?

i would suspect faulty heater core. is there any coolant on the driver side floor? you may also notice a sweet smell in the air and possibly a filmy substance on the windshield when the heat is on. this all points to a faulty heater core or faulty heater hoses going to the core.
