That's a great idea! The only downfall is that the bucket would be in the way of a passenger sitting in the front seat. But then again there is always the back seat to occupy. As far as the antifreeze in the bucket, I would simply reuse it and pour it back in the cooling system. Saves you money until you properly fix some radiator hose which could be the problem.

More like a heater core leak which is inside the dashboard and would explain why the coolant is collecting on the passenger floorboard. Eight years later, I'm sure the issue has been resolved by now.
