^ never a bad idea to double check the installation if the issue started after you had em replaced

Not sure if i'm tripping but i'm getting hints of coolant smell in my 95 teg's cabin when i turn on the heat. It's doesn't happen immediately after i turn on the heat...maybe after about 5 minutes or so, i'll get a hint of coolant smell and then it would disappear. Just noticed this last week.

i've noticed that i've lost some coolant last month...pretty miniscule amounts though, i had to put in probably about 3/4 of a cup into the reservoir as i noticed it was under the min line last month. Filled it up to halfway between min and max last month and now it's just two fingers over min again (not sure how much of a loss that is but it would've happened in 3 weeks)

rad system and water pump was replaced more than 4 years ago, the coolant was flushed and replaced 2 years ago, I've been meaning to do a flush and catch up on maintenance but i just haven't had the time.

Any idea what this could be? I'm praying its not a heater core...I've checked both sides and it doesn't look like i have coolant on the floor or under the dash.
