Are you sure it's a leak? C5 a/c is prone to plugged drains. When the drains plug it backs up and comes out all over the pass side carpet. I can't find the link for the fix but maybe someone else will have it. If you look along both sides of the firewall you will see what looks like a nipple. I've heard the best way to treat the problem is to cut the end off of those drains. Just a thought, hope it works for you!
