Coolant in passenger footwell

Hi all, 2006 Flying Spur with 93k miles, last week started to have a faint smell of coolant in the cabin, visually there were no leaks so was going to get it pressure tested. The following day started the car and had the insufficient coolant warning, checked again and noticed the passenger side carpet was wet, my guess is heater core?

I called the dealer and they said they've never had a heater core fail but I guess there's a first time for everything, anything else it could be before we start taking this thing apart?

Remove the scuttle shield and check the pip-age to , and around the heater valve .It might just be a leak there = easy fix .



Red coolant ( hot ) supply . 4 outlets but it’s blended with cold from the AC before it enters the matrix .

Sits under the scuttle shield . Check the hot feed for leaks .
