leaking heater matrix or one of the pipes that go to it, red oat coolant mix is what you are finding

Almost certainly it's the heater matrix. There is a large ribbed hose feeding the heater, feel the bottom of it and see if your hand is wet.
We had a slow leak from ours for about a year, never got any worse but being a V6 we constantly watch coolant level and finally decided to replace the matrix. Had a Landrover part fitted which cost £200, you can get cheaper substitutes. The total bill with vat was £600!!! Main dealer will want more.
It is difficult to dry out the carpet, soak in soapy water then rinse and dry with towels, do this a lot of times. OAT doesn't dry out of it's own accord.
Hope this helps, you have a lousy problem.

Betterer to get it fixed if it's leaking coolant. Should be a closed system, with no leaks.
