If the leak is on the inside of the passenger compartment you have a leak in the heater core or a line connecting to it. Are you certain it is coolant and not water from the condenser. If it is water then you most likely have a clogged condenser drain which is easy to remedy by blowing air up the drain hose from the underside of the car.

If it's leaking inside the car,it's the heater core seeing you don't have a/c

I agree with the above and I have to add that all C6s have air conditioning.
