Agree with David, not likely engine coolant.  No coolant lines are inside
the body of the van in the area of the sink cabinet.  You probably have a
leak in the city water plumbing, and when you hooked it up, it gushed out
inside the van.  Now it is slowly trying to find ways to get out.  There
are a few holes in the body under the sink cabinet for the sink drain, the
gas pipes, etc.  Probably is just leaking out there.  There is a circuit
breaker for the 120 V AC circuit.  It is back on the bottom of the cabinet
near the bench/bed, right next to the ac outlet (I think).  It is  a little
round button that pops out when it trips.  Push it back in.  Also check for
ac power under the sink at the outlet the ac cord from the fridge plugs into.

I remember the first camping trip in our Westy.  Water didn't work either,
nor stove, and fridge only while driving.  It was still a lot of fun.  Part
of my pleasure of the vanagon is thinking and dreaming of how to fix things
and solve problems and make improvements to the little house on wheels.
