Pressure test the system. Find out if it holds pressure. If not, then it is leaking somewhere.

Are we sure this smell is not normal? I know on just about any car I can 
remember there is a smell that comes from the heater. I would not call it a

Well, the smell came back on a trip this afternoon when I stopped at a
light.
Anti-freeze:  test this by taking some from your car and heating it on
your stove.  Beware that it is poisonous.
