if the floor is getting wet when u drive, it's definately the heater core (done way too may of those!). flushing it won't do anything 4 ya, replace it now, b4 u really need it, winters coming. it's not that difficult 2 do eithier, & when u get the old core out, clean the insde of the air box really well 2 get rid of any coolant smell that might b trapped in there.

Is there antifreeze ( coolant) inside the vehicle?? Is the antifreeze level down at the reservoir?? Then would be the heater core and likely needs replacement ... flushing won't help.

Otherwise it wasn't said if it was when the A/C was being used ... in this case could be the drain tube is blocked.
