Brett,
Remove the coolant reservoir cap and allow the engine to cool. Refill with coolant, (not water), to the MIN mark. Place a flattened cardboard carton on the ground under the A/C drain, (center of the firewall.) Allow several hours to elapse, then examine the cardboard for evidence of coolant slime, separate from A/C condensation. Evidence of coolant confirms heater core failure. Absence of ccolant suggests headgasket failure. Marvin suggests you fit an exhaust leak detector on the coolant reservoir. The presence of exhaust gas in the coolant will be appear as a color change in the tester and confirm the need to replace the headgasket.
Either way, you should correct the coolant leak before it results in overheating, or consequent engine failure.
Happy Trails!!
