Hey there. Few more question. I have been smelling some hot coolant around the windshield dash area, like where the coolant would be reaching the heater core, and only when i have the heater or defroster on. Any ideas? Does it leak or something? hmm.. Thanks in advance

So i tore apart the dash to get at the heater core, and then ran with the heat for about 35 min with the heater core uncovered and when i stopped I was looking around it for any coolant or smell of any, and nothing. I went looking to the left of the plenum / distributor area for the inlet hoses and i didnt smell anything their either... If when I did smell the coolant it was comming from the windshield wiper area do you think its the inlet hoses that are leaking an the core is fine? Hmm thanks in advance
