Default 95 Audi 90 coolant leak

Hey all I just discovered a coolant leak under the right hand side of my 90 right behind the passenger front tire. Does anyone have a suggestion on where to start looking? It's a 1995 90 with 92,000 miles. Heater core was just replaced.

V six engine? Are you sure it is coolant? There is a condensation drain for the A/C over there.

Yeaaa, apparently the guy who replaced the heater core didnt tighten the clamp on the hose going to the firewall enough. Seems to have stopped.

Be careful it's not silently leaking down under your front carpeting. Watch your coolant tank level over time for anything beyond normal.
