Weird smell from car

I have a weird smell coming from my car. It smells like anti-freeze. I think it maybe be the heater core. If so how much does a job like that cost? I am not seeing any leaking but it smells bad. It smells like anti-freeze fixed with fish. Has anyone eles done there heater core?

Where? exhaust? air vents? If air vents, you can go to your local autozone, kragen, pep-boys and get this air vent cleaner, its a little spray bottle. there is usually smell in the airvents due to the use of the A/C. clean it out if its that, if exhaust, i have no idea. good luck.

The smell is from inside the car. You can't even smell it outside.

if you open your hood, you should be able to smell it there also. check all the hoses. on a dry day, look at the hoses and see if there is anything that is like wet. i dunno how much a heater core is. but should still run a couple of hundred
