heater core is leaking...

although it may/may not be related to your swap, thats my guess.

Either that or you cracked the nipple since theyre made of plastic, now theyre leaking into your interior.

is there coolant around your passenger side floor? usually thats another sign... but yes you have heater core issues

It probably is going to smell a little sweet in the car as well.
but yeah - what everyone else said.
Have fun taking the dash out, you can leave the dash bar in place but it makes it easier with it removed as well.
