on driver's side--- you can reach thru with your (small) hand and feel around the valve where it fits onto the heater core. Small leaks may not pool enough liquid to actually make it onto the floor, but you can usually feel any wetness around the fitting. It doesn't take much of a leak to give a strong antifreeze smell.
There are procedures posted for chaging the valve thru the speaker hole, but I found this impossible to do with normal-size hands! Removing the heater core isn't really that hard, and you are then assured that you have a solid connection to the new valve, etc. It also allows you to thoroughly clean the mating surface where the new o-rings sit...
