A leak in this location might be a leak from the rear heater core. Take a look under the rear bench seat and look for coolant. Though I'm not sure of it, it may be that you can close the rear heater valve for now to prevent additional leakage. Of course, the leak itself can be fixed, but it may not be urgent if you just want to make it back home. Just use the front heater. David
