MY un-Driveable car

ok so, I have a 97' Ford Thunderbird, and everything seemed ok until one day anti-freeze started dripping from under my passenger side glove compartment. Later that day after i got back in my car i found a full leak in the form of a puddle on the carpet right in back of my passenger seat, it was like a new leak had started somewhere under the car, but when i checked out my undercarriage everything was straight no leaks, no really hot spots, no bended metal or broken lines of any kind.. i just wanna know where the hell are these 2 leaks coming from?? i really need help cause right now the car is un-driveable. by the way i have a 4.6L V8 and it's an LX model. any reply would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

p.s i think that it's a broken hose somewhere but i can't find it anywhere iv searched up and down for it.

It's time for a heater core! Check the post a few below yours about heater core replacing. If the antifreeze is leaking from under the passenger side dash it is probably the heater core.

Almost definitly the heater core! It seems to be a pretty regular problem with these cars, but check and make sure before wasting money.

Re: MY un-Driveable car

The puddle behind the seat is most likely from the coolant pooling there vs. the front floor board. Do you park at a slight incline? Have a shop pressurize your cooling system. If it's dripping coolant from under the dash, bingo. Odds are 100:1 right now you've got heater core issues.
