kinda hard to tell, but my guess is heater core. that's the only thing under the dash that has coolant in it.

Obviously it's the fucking heater core idiot.

It looks like a fitting on the heater core. If you could move that wire in front of the hose, it looks like the hose clamp and hose are slipping off that fitting. If you are lucky, that's the source of the leak. Push the hose on better, fix or replace the clamp. Maybe replace the rubber hose (it could be cracked).

If you are not lucky, the core itself, or that fitting are leaking and need to be replaced. I don't know Ferds, but removing some heater cores can be a bitch.

The heater core is the first thing that goes down the assembly line and everything else is bolted to it.

My 76 LTD was 10 small cover bolts under the hood and remove/replace. I could do the heater core in 10 minutes. Some time in the 80s, step one became "remove dash" and ever since the "remove dash" step has become more and more complicated and time consuming.

I got rid of it in 99 I didn't put enough anti-freeze in after I replaced the timing chain/gears. The radiator froze up and then it overheated cracking the heads. It was a 400/C6 Landau 4 door. I paid $500 for it and drove it for about 5 years. Looked like pic related except mine was a 4 door. It was DD/ Winter beater/ dog hauler combined.
