Well pull out the rubber wheel well then and look up on the side of the core support. There's some lines that are attached to the outside check to see if they're leaking

Could be refrigerant. Systems came with a greenish yellow dye to help detect leaks. Would be on the passenger side. But I think it was only visibly yellow if an ultraviolet light was used to see it.
