The heater core for your ac system has a leak. An its filtering into your interio try to find it and replace hoses if nessesary. I will warn you its porbably gona be a pain in the behind to get to it. But if you are not planing on using you ac system ever again its a great time to take out the condenser and hetaer core and fan assembly from you dash.

but you still have the fan assembly the condenser and the heater core inside the dash. You could also find the hoses that go to the heater core from your engine and loop them. But if you don't use any of that stuff, you could always take it out then you would also be removing quite a bit of weight.
But if you wnat the easy way out find witch hose goes to the heater core an put a hose to loop the fluid.

Coolant leaks indicates damaged heater core. That's what I've known with Mercedes heater cores. Try to have it repaired but usually, immediately replacement is the only solution.
