The car has 31K miles on it, and I know from the Car Fax that the heater core was replaced by the dealer at about 1000 miles (leaking I guess). I smell it inside and outside. Open the hood and you can smell it good.

And yes, could be heater core trouble as well. Check the passenger side floor for any dampness / scent. Also, if you have been running the defroster at all, you'll likely have a film on the inside of your windshield.

Yes, I id check the radiator. It was full. I did look for the classic wet carpet sign of leakage, and also residual smell from leaked fluid but have not found any wetness.
Since I siphoned off the overflow, I haven't smelled it. I'll let you know if it continues to be a problem. Hopefully, the over fill was the problem. I don't think the heater core is rotted out with only 31k miles, and the fluid is crystal clear.
Thanks!
