The only way coolant can enter the cabin is the 2 hoses going to the heater core.
It's gotta be the heater core.

yup heater core or heater hoses, check both ends of the heater core hoses make sure fluid isnt just trickling down them into the cabin.

hey i dont know if you can tell but its your heater core.. lol

but a temp fix would be to loop the two hoses with a fitting..
i believe you have to pull the dash to replace it

U don't need a fitting 2 loop it just re-route the hose that goes 2 the inlet valve 2 the thermostat housing. I will post a pic of it later.
