Coolant leak in VW Golf mark 5 1.9 TDi auto DSG

I have a 2005 VW Golf 1.9 TDi (auto DSG) mark 5 and have noticed my foot get wet in the drivers side footwell, around the pedal area.

Is it possible that coolant could be leaking onto my feet from below the steering wheel onto the pedal area ?

I was under the impression the heater core connections go straight into the firewall in the centre of the dashboard and there are no hoses/pipes that travel in the drivers side ?

Thanks

There is, however, an air outlet into the driver's foot area. If the heater core is leaking, the air coming through the heater core will carry the droplets into the entire air ducting system. The driver's foot area may be the closest outlet. If it smells like coolant, you need to replace the heater core regardless of where in the cabin the coolant is coming out.
