Heater smell
So I don't know if this is even a problem but anytime you turn the temp. dial to a warmer setting as the air gets warmer the air comes out smelling like antifreeze. I can't find any leaks, and the carpet doesn't get wet inside, but the fact that it smells like that has me worried.

I haven't noticed any of the other signs of it going out, so I was hoping that it was OK. There's no fog in the windows, or water leaking on the carpet, or steam (or anything else other than air) coming out of the vents. When I bought the truck, it had been occasionally smoked in, and it had been "deoderized" or something and smelled like a glade plugin inside the truck, which went away after having it detailed, so the first time I turned the heater on to try it, I bought the truck in May and the A/C has seen MUCH more use than the heater, and I guess I thought there was just the air freshener smell in the vents, until last weekend when Mom was riding in the truck with me and decided the A/C was blowing too cold and turned the temp **** up and it smelled sweet like antifreeze, it surprised me because the last time in the spring that I used the heater it really had no smell to it, and just today I turned the heater on again and it barely had any smell to it at first then it went away. I guess it could be a very tiny leak or something, I just wish there was some way that something else could be the problem, I hate expensive problems. I guess there's not too much else it can be, and at his point I guess I'm just hoping that there's something else going on and I won't have to have this replaced... I
How much does this kind of thing usually cost to have done? I really don't want to deal with this myself, I'm sure I could but unless its really expensive I'd rather not have to deal with it.
