Yes, it could come out of the ac drain on the passenger side.

By heater core, I presume you mean the small heat exchanger that uses engine coolant to heat the passenger compartment. If it is truly disconnected, and the engine still runs without spewing coolant, it means a bypass hose has been installed in it's place, most likely because the core leaks and will fill your passenger compartment with foul-smelling steam. Other possibilities that would prevent your heater from working include blockage of the lines, or malfunction of the valve that blocks coolant flow during engine warm-up.
Yes, without a proper exhaust system in the car carbon monoxide can enter the passenger compartment and kill you.
Anitfreeze IS coolant
Your 50 / 50 mixture of antifreeze and preferably distilled water should be right near the top of the radiator ( as long as you can put the cap on without the antifreeze mixture overflowing ) The plastic coolant reservoir in the passenger side of the engine compartment has a cold mark on it , just maintain your coolant level up to the cold mark when the engine is cold . ( Ford recommends to not drop below 40 % antifreeze and not exceed 60 % antifreeze in your engine coolant mixture )
how to open a glove compartment on a 2008 highlander without the key
The source of heat for the system is water/coolant from the radiator circulating through a heater core under the dash. Without the engine running and water circulating, there won't be any heat in the passenger compartment. There is residual heat after turning the engine off, but that won't last long. If the blower fan does not shut off, the resistor has failed.
NOTE: this answer is describing the location of the engine coolant temperature sensor - NOT the coolant sensor in the reservoir that warns when the level gets too low.The coolant temperature sensor is located directly adjacent to the thermostat housing. The thermostat housing is what the upper radiator hose (toward the right side of the engine compartment) connects to. You do not have to replace the reservoir to replace this part, but leaky coolant reservoirs are a common problem on this model.
One which isn't an extended cab... the passenger compartment only has one row of seats, without any additional seats behind them.
it is burning it!!
If the exhaust leak is allowing the fumes to come into the passenger compartment of the vehicle then you could very well get carbon monoxide poisoning. Very bad headaches, dizzyness, nausea, apathy, loss of consiousness which will cause an accident, and from prolonged exposure without relief; death. Fix the leak. If it is not coming into the passenger compartment then it will cause excessive noise and probably get you a ticket. Fix the leak.
Replace the head is the proper way. I had an Intrepid that the customer didn't want to spend the money on repairing it correctly and we put a product called Irontight (from Carquest) in it. When used properly as the instruction tell you it sealed up the leak that was so bad the coolant was hitting the firewall in a steady stream. It's been 8-10 months and I still see the car (a neighbour) and it still holds coolant without any leaks. Don't know what it does to the rest of the engine components but no leaks yet.
