Probally leaking from heater box, pull it out and see if u can fix or prob get a new one.

i would take apart the dash and have a good look

+ what's the condition of your radiator like? If you don't want to go to the effort of taking heater core out you can always try to use some radiator stop leak in there first depending on whether it's a pinhole or whether it's a split/corroded seam. If it's the latter only a new core will solve the problem.

Yep, just the heater core giving out, fairly common issue after this amount of time

yep heater core, looks like this once removed:

the 2 yellow pipes attach on one side and stick through the firewall into the engine bay (and onto the motor via heater hoses)

whole dash needs to come out to change it unfortunately.. or if your aircon isn't gassed up you might be able to do it via the glovebox area

how do you know if the aircon is gased up ?

what happens if you disconnected it with it gased ?

Well does your aircon work or not?

If it does - then it has gas in there.

If it doesn't - well, there is no gas

not trying to be a smart ass but that is Unless ofcourse it just happens to have an electrical problem preventing it working correctly
