If your heater core is leaking, it would roll out through the drain on the passenger firewall...

Here is a pic of mine when it was leaking...look at the black hole on the firewall all the way down:

pressure test the cooling system and look for the green rolling on to the ground

It took awhile for the smell to go away after I replaced my second heater core. (I have a restrictor now!!) A little antifreeze will make quite a noticable smell in the ductwork.

yea same proble, on a new heater core, just got it installed, i think the antifreeze creates a film in the ductork, hopefully it goes away gonna buy some airfreshners in the mean time

I guess that is normal.....I did my heater core twice, and both times I had that smell for a little while
