My guess is that it is either the inlet or outlet tube on the heater valve (located on the firewall near the ac compressor) When the plastic tubes (not the rubber hoses) get hold, they crack - so when the cooling system pressurizes, it will expand the crack, and push coolant out... quite some distance too. Pull the heater hoses off of the heater control valve, and have a look at the condition of the tubes. They are a pain to replace... You have to go in through the left speaker hole in the dash...
