I have a 1999 Ford Taurus. The antifreeze seems to be leaking near the firewall behind the drive belt on the passenger's side. Any ideas on what could be leaking? It leaks a gallon of antifreeze in about 15 minutes.

Sounds like the heater core. Is the passenger side floor wet? Some times antifreeze will drain inside as well. If the floor has antifreeze on it I would say you have a heater core problem

SOURCE: windshield washer fluid hose is leaking behind front right wheel

I had the same problem. Reservoir would drain for no reason and I later found that the water was soaking the passenger side carpet and filling the wire channel under the doors. Tracked the problem to a barbed fitting behind the passenger side kick panel, just below the dash. The fitting connects the tubing coming through the firewall from the reservoir to the rear wiper/washer. The hose had come loose from the fitting (possibly due to freezing). I re-installed the tubing onto the the fitting and it has been fine ever since.

My mechanic says i have a cracked plenum in the hvac system where can i find the plenum on the car is it where the heater core is, when i drive it the floor appears to be wet from time to time but it is...

it sounds like the heater box is cracked-that is what your heater core sits inside of-if it is cracked you will definately have water leaking onto the passenger floorboard. the only way to fix this is to replace the evaporator case which is the large black casing(box) that is under the dash on the passenger side-be prepared because this usually is not a quick and cheap fix
sorry

Ford taurus ac stuck in defrost

Check under the hood for a vacuum leak near the firewall on the passenger side of the car. The blender door is vacuum operated and a leak would prevent the door from changing which vents the air blows. Hope this answers your problem. All the best!

I want to add freon 1997 ford taurus wagon

If u look under the hood on the passenger side u will see two lines comming from the AC compressor, follow the larger of those two lines back to the firewall behind the engine, near where it goes through the firewall to the inside of the car u will find a charging port.
