when you dont use the air con for a while the seals in the compressor can dry out and you lose gas. if the liquid is from the aircon it will only be water and would mean the drain is blocked. but if its still leaking and you dont have an air con belt then it must be coolant from a leaking heater core or one of the hoses from the firewall to the core. turn the heater off for a bit to see if it stops, wipe a white rag on wet spot to see if its green(coolant). prob more chance of a weeping hose than the actual core.

the heater hose connections are located at the firewall,if it was leaking you would see it in your engine bay.i suspect its a leaking heater core.way to fix this problem is to take your heater box out and check out your heater core,very annoying job though

even if the heater is turned off it can still leak as only one hose has a tap on it. as Todd sys check the tutorial so you dont have to pull the dash out

Where is this tap btw? It must be on the engine side of things, as the heater core doesn't have one, nor the plastic angled pipes that you connect to it. I don't see anything in the rubber heater hoses either.
