I don't think the coolant in these cars feels any different from water. It tastes very different though, ethylene glycol is very sweet to taste.

And yes, behind the glovebox is the heater matrix and aircon gubbins if you have it.

On mine water was getting under the seals on their leading edge and then running down the inside of the piece of interior trim to exit unseen directly into the carpet. New seals sorted it but as said it could be blocked drainage holes...
