Default smoke from vents.

so i am getting smoke from my vents, and that sweet smell. i do know about the heater core as being a culprit but i am also getting coolant dripping from the frame behind the passenger side wheel. im not getting any fluid dripping on the floor boards inside so i am wondering if there is a leak from some other hose. as far as i can see the only thing that receives any coolant to the cab is the heater core. could there be any other hoses that could be leaking coolant?

Also make sure that the condensation tube (which is located in the area you're seeing the drip) is not partially plugged.
