The problem is the heater core as said above and it is leaking so the more you run it the more antifreeze/water you are going to leak onto your passenger side floor, also keep a close watch on the radiator level so you don't get low and over heat.

Its not that bad of a smell. You smell maple syrup when it furst starts to go. Your best bet, if you are making a long trip, is to bypass the heater core.

Bypassing the heater core can be done many different ways, but I am not sure on the details of doing it on these cars in particular as I have never had a problem with them in anything other than my S10s.

But you wont have any heat if you bypass the heater core correct?

Bassically what you are doin on a bypass is takeing the heater hose that runs to the inlet of the heater core and running it to the outlet hose from the heater core. It will fix the leak till you have time and money to fix the heater core. Otherwise you will continue to blow coolant out of the core. Problem is when the motor is pressurized you loose more coolant
 (the engine is up to temperature)
