My '97 taurus is leaking anti-freeze from under the car behind the engine.
I could smell a lot of anti-freeze in the air when i exit my car after driving.
I still have heat though. it leaks the most after a taken it for a drive when its parked.

If the leak is behind the engine, take a CLOSE look at the heater tubes. They could be rotting out. The are a little hard to do, easier if you have a 3.0L Vulcan. It is common.
