Even if I'm not running heat would it smell like that?! It may have be coming from the engine bay... Who knows, I'll have to look more into it I just thought it was ironic you said that!

I had a leak in Oct. that was fixed. but the thing is is that I'm not loosing any coolant! I thought by now all the was leaked all over in the back would of burned off by now... maybe thats what I'm smelling I'll have to check it out once I get time!

i had a similar problem last year. At first i thought it was the heater core, then my mechanic replaced my cam seals and voila, problem fixed.
