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.
