Are you sure they did not say heater core? These symptoms are definite signs of a heater core failure. Check the floor on the passenger side near the transmission tunnel.

Heater core without a doubt. If you feel like tearing out your entire dash (literally) the part is fairly cheap. Otherwise, anywhere from $700-1000 to have it replaced.

RE: Smelling Antifreez

I just had a heater core replaced on my 1997. I choose to have it done, it cost me about $350 complete. I stopped by the shop when they were doing it & the whole dash has to come out. I was glad I had it done instead of doing it myself. It saved me $350 worth of pissed off.
