1997 Ford Taurus GL Heater Hoses?

Where is the 1997 Ford Taurus GL heater hose? My car is leaking water underneath towards the center of the vehicle.

Update:

Any diagrams?

Update 2:

About 5 months ago I turned the heat on and the car made a loud screeching noise especially when I pressed on the gas. I just took the knobs off and never used the heat (side note: I don't use the A/C either, a friend bypassed that by using a smaller belt after that ac compressor stopped working and ripped up the belt). Later my car started spurting water/coolant out from the passenger side. That stopped so I continued to drive it for the next 4 months. Yesterday, on the freeway I noticed a noise and had to pull over immediately because I was on H. I had a liter of water, put that in and went to the next off ramp gas station. I filled it up with water and took her home (I did notice dirty colored water coming up too). Later the car stopped working while going up a hill after getting off the freeway (about 3 miles). I could only go 30 MPH. I parked and I was smoking. I refilled again and I saw the water coming out underneath at the center not the passenger side. Can this be fixed? Can I

Update 3:

    if you have the 3.8 I'm thinking its bypass tube that runs at the back of the engine.....you will need the VIN when ordering the part from Ford, I have found 3 different style tubes

    If all the coolant leaked out of the heater core you could have one large mess to your floor. You smell antifreeze on account that the scent is coming in by means of the heater vents. I will guess you will have a foul hose someplace below the hood.

    i think its your heater core leaking and running down the floor board and found a hole to drain.
