Default Coolant Smell

i smell coolant only through the vents and only when i turn on the heat....no leaks on the ground...PO put a in new water pump, an air oil separator and some various hoses, around 5,000 miles ago...the lost coolant should have burned off by now...sounds to me like a heater core...anyone else think so? anybody have an idea on how much that costs to replace? BTW why does spell check want me to download iespell? that sux!! just check the damn spelling
