Fluid never goes down and yet there is a smell like a
heater core leak constantly. I have smelled this before
in other cars and it was a heater core leak.
do not see any wet anywhere. It has gone on for
sometime with no lose of fluid
Do you

Chances are you have a very slight pinhole in the core. I have the same problem with my own car. Coolant never seems to drop, but I smell it through the vents. I know it's the core on mine. Chances are it is in yours too.
