I have noticed that coolant is leaking inside the car. It is all over the passanger side floor, does anyone have any idea what would cause this? Any comments would be helpful.

Thanks!

Not great news. I may have to go have a beer on your behalf...
Heater core problem - could be (a) a broken connection at the firewall or if you're lucky (b) a hose at the firewall in the engine compartment came loose, plus there's an opening that allows coolant to spray back into the passenger compartment. More likely (a) or a bad heater core which means some extensive work under the dash.
