my 87 f250 is leaking anti freeze out of the A/C drain tube?

i have read it could be the heater core but i havent been using the heat as it is SUMMER!! could the heater core still be the problem? i drove it to work last night and it was pouring out. after work i drove it home. i went out to check it this morning and there isn't a drop on the ground. i've checked everything else and it is fine (rad,hoses,clamps etc.).

Update:

thanks guys, i thought that might be the problem but im still learning and wanted to be sure. any info or wisdom is greatly appreciated.

    Shutting off the heat closes off one of the hoses to the heater core, but coolant can still get to it through the other hose if it has a leak.

    Keep a close eye on your coolant level until you can get the heater core replaced.

    there should be 2 cores ! one core is for the cooling system and 1 for the AC ! the 1 for the cooling system is leaking antifreeze and running through the AC drain tube ! change the heater core !
