A very common cause of loosing engine coolant and having it leak into the interior foot wells (either side, but generally passenger), is a leaking heater core. This can happen even when not using the heater, since there is almost always a small amount of flow to reduce sludge or corrosion accumulation. Replacing the heater core generally fixes the problem. Note that on most newer cars this also involves the air conditioning, so it is generally a shop job to be legal and environmentally conscious. You could have an A/C mechanic remove the coolant, then do the rest yourself before a recharge, but make sure you know what you're doing first. You don't want leaks, and it's a big job. Oh - if you're really lucky, it could just be the hoses leaking where they connect, but that' not normal since they generally leak down the firewall in the engine compartment.
Under hood, center, upper engine area, mounted in driver side of water outlet
The PCM is located on the firewall behind the coolant reservoir on the passenger side of the vehicle. Most notably are 3 large connectors.
The coolant temperature sensor on a 2001 Jeep Cherokee is located in the intake manifold. It monitors the flow and temperature of coolant through the engine.
Low coolant or bad sensor
It's on the side of the Radiator, behind the grill on the passenger side.
On the coolant overflow bottle that in on the passenger side of the engine.
If it is water, it could be a plugged up AC condensation drain or if it is engine coolant, it could be a leaky heater core.

Take the front 7 slotted grill off (just a few screws). it will be down on the left (passenger side).
in the engine compartment on the firewall right in front of the passenger and right behind the coolant bottle.
Under hood, center, upper engine area, mounted in driver side of water outlet
Drain coolant from engine and keep it safe and clean somewhere. Make sure to keep coolant hoses from the heater box up high to prevent coolant from leaking out. Disconnect the two coolant lines from the heater box. Make sure not to kink the lines. Undo the two bolts in the engine bay on the lower part of the heater box, and the top two bolts in the passenger footwell. Remove heater box from upper footwell engine bay area. Blower and heater matrix are now accessible.
A 1997 Jeep uses green coolant.
A damaged heater core will cause coolant or water to leak onto the passenger floorboard.
The coolant temperature sensor on a 2001 Jeep Cherokee is located in the intake manifold. It monitors the flow and temperature of coolant through the engine.
If you are sure it is water and not coolant, then the A/C Condenser drain line is stopped up. You will find it near the firewall on the passenger side. Look for a tube under the Jeep. If it is coolant, which will taste sweet, your heater core is leaking and must be replaced.
