Drip, drip, drip ... 850 1996

The wife returned home with a low coolant warning, and a steady drip of coolant from beneath the car, below about where the gear shift is. As I look at the diagram in the Haynes manual, it looks like no hoses there to leak, just the heater core. Haven't torn into it yet, but am I correct that the only likely culprit is a leaking heater core? Might as well get it on order so it's here when I need it?

Sigh, I just get the starter replaced on the 240 and now it's a heater core. Could be worse, of course, no damage done, and the starter was relatively easy!
