Where on driver's side? Inside the passenger compartment? Does it smell / look like coolant?

What year of Camry?

year is 97 and it is leaking from the two pipes going into the heater core. where the clamp looking things are on the pipes before they go into the heater core

OK. Again, you're referring to inside the passenger compartment, and the leak is where the pipes go into / out of the heater core itself?

If so, I'd think that the problem would just be the little o-rings that seal the pipes to the core. Off chance something else is corroded in that area, but the o-rings seem more likely, especially if someone has been messing around down by the heater core or with the heater hoses in the engine compartment.
