If you are very very lucky, it will be a heater hose.Tracing the length of hose to each end for disconnecting should be relatively easy.
The alternative is that the heater core is leaking.
No need to know which year your Taurus is to be able to tell you: replacing the heater core is a huge huge job!

TipsFor anyone working on a car's cooling system, you MUST check out the MUST-HAVE tool for dealing with those spring-type hose clamps!!This tool has a pinching device on the end to securely grab the 'ears' on the hose clamp - sqeeze the handle to open the clamp, and then automatically lock it open.
The next awesome feature of this tool: the clamping action is on the end of a cable - you work it down to the clamp buried down underneath, or directly next to some part of the engine - minimal clearance required.
Sears makes one - check it out at a local store and and linked below.

It has one. Sometimes they get stuck on even after you add coolant. Tap on the reservoir until the light goes off. Or you could always unplug the connector at the bottle and the light will go off. That's at your own risk of course because you won't know when you're low on coolant.
