1997 cavalier leaking antifreeze

I recently Friday Jan 8 took my 97 cavalier to Pepboys to get it fixed bc my car was running terrible through the gears sputtering and hesitating. Turned out I had a o2 sensor heater circuit malfunction,Cylinder 1 was misfiring,EGR valve was bad and catalyst efficiency was below threshold. Anyway $700 later they put in a new ignition coil,new downstream o2 sensor,spark plugs and the car runs great. The next day I went to go to store and saw the low radiator fluid light was on.
So I checked it,filled it up and I looked under my car and could see it dripping on the ground coming off the metal bar that runs across by the firewall . Im not sure exactly where its coming from but also when I turn my heat on the windows fog up and I can smell antifreeze. My stepdad thinks its the heatercore but its not leaking inside the car. Im so frustrated bc I just spent all this money and I now have another problem. Anybody have any ideas? Thanks aton!!
