Could be heater matrix that's leaking inside car .There could be other causes also , like sticking thermostat , partially blocked radiator ,water pump , fan not kicking in , head gasket etc .If there is excessive pressure on cooling system this wont help and could finish off a weak heater matrix , causing leaks .Need to get it checked out before throwing money at it , could be something rather minor but could be uneconomical to repair also .

to change the heater matrix alone is a major job and i would get a block test done as cylinder head gasket might have failed
