this is usually the heater core mounted on/in the dash leaking...

If you do not use antifreeze this will occur very fast as the antifreeze[coolant] does more than prevent the engine from freezing..very common as owners in warm areas that don't have severe freezing temps put insufficent amounts of this antifreeze in ... this prevents rust and corrosion..

I fyou look in the engine compartmet passanger side there is a black hose about three inches long on the back of the engine compartment about 5 inches down from the altenator. take it off and clean all the dirt a crud out of it if that does not fix the problem replace the heater core.
