  I hoped that hoses to/from heater just came off but today I found them
  attached and not broken. 
  And it seems to me that if even hose(s) come off coolant should not
  drip  inside. Am I right? What might leak except heater core? Any
  plastic joints?
  Everything looked as hose broke: no leak and then flood. I thought that
  if core leaks it does it gradually, increasing little by little.

 could be your rear heater core, they are famous for  leaking..is your rear 
 cargo area carpet wet?  best thing to do temporarily is remove the rear 
 heater core, make a U shapped fitting w/ copper pipe, then attach both lines 
 together, tighten w/ hose clamps.
