coolant on the pass floor!!!! What could cause it? and how to fix it?
sometimes when I am at a stop I can see smoke coming out of the top of the dash and a strong smell of coolant burning. When I checked the coolant lines I noticed one was unpluggled so I plug it back in but the problem is still there.

The heater core is the source of your leak. The evaporator housing drain is clogged most likely and that is why it is dripping on the floor and not outside the car.
Because we know every nut and bolt on your car I would be happy to take a look at it if you like. I don't charge for diagnosing and could put you a price together for what ever we see.
No worries dude!

you dont have to pull the dash to do the heater core. undo two hoses under hood to heater core, take out the glove box. Pull the heater core cover.(big black plastic cover) pull out heater core. follow steps in reverse. should take less than an hour first time.

Hell I'm a mechanic what do I know. Yes dodge is a little more difficult but not too bad I just finished one today after waiting a week for the damm evaporator to show up undamaged.
i am no mechanic. I just had antifreeze on floorboard. Had no clue how to replace the heater core. I started taking **** off found the core. took it out without removing the dash. it can be done. I do have little hands and arms. maybe that helped. but i assure you can get that thing in an out with out touching the dash(except the glove box) . 
Do yourself a favor. That's a lot of work to place on an ill fitting as they usually do iffy at best aftermarket part. It will cost more but will be cheaper than the labor to do it twice.
