I have an 1995 Oldsmobile Achieva S it has 84,000 miles on it. It is a 2.3 Quad 4. I've been smelling anitfreeze real bad inside the car, and the temp gauge runs about 220. In the last two months every time I shut the car off it starts leaking antifreeze from the resevoir and it gurgles. On my way to work the windows fogged up so bad I couldn't see out of them. The carpet is not wet. Is it my heater core or could it be something else? If it is my heater core can I replace it myself and how?

With all the steam inside the car I would say it's either the core or a split hose that is leaking the antifreeze into the core area.I have not replaced an Achieva core, but most front drives require a lot of dasboard parts or the das itself to be removed to get the plenum out.
