I'd determine just what, if anything is leaking. It could be a bad hose, a loose hose clamp or some other less serious plumbing problem. It may only require a simple fix. If it is the core and you want to temporarily by pass it, that should not present any major problems (w/the exception, of course, of no heat). There's enough coolant in the core to require draining. I'd not worry about any serious dangers associated with a cabin coolant leak. They are more of a mess than a danger. Low coolant levels and over heating, however, can be the death of an engine. So get this tracked down and repaired as soon as possible.
