Heater leaks can be somewhat deceptive. If it is definitely coming from inside the box then core or a header. It might be possible that water is squirting from a loose clamp landing inside the box but with hoses usually well outside I wouldn't hold out much hope.

If there is a wet spot on the ground and it is not running out the air vent where the duct hose connects it could be a hose from around the thermostatic valve leaking and running down the firewall. I had that happen but the usual problem with the valve is the rubber seal around the stem gives up. Water runs down the inside of dash under dash pad and carpet. It can pool under carpet or sometimes drops out the hole for body to frame bolt location and onto the ground.
