Default sweet smell of anti-freeze? - yikes!

again, happy new year to all.

in past posts on this board, i've read about a musty smells, but
i swear i can smell anti-freeze coming from my vents. recycle or fresh venting makes no difference.

anyone else experience this?

btw: my coolant jug is within the "full - add" range and has not gone noticeably down in volume.

Watch for a leak around the heater core or within the heating vents. A small leak will produce a lot of smell when you force air through it.

Not sure you need the reminder but get it fixed fast as antifreeze can do real damage once it gets into the interior of a car.
