Could it be you actually have a blown head gasket and what you're seeing are compression bubbles being blown through the cooling system?

Coolant smell inside the cabin is not a good thing. But if you do have a compression leak into the water jacket, and the coolant cap is screwed on tight, etc., the pressure could be phenominal and play hell on things like the heater core.

Not trying to freak you out on purpose - just thinking here.....

        If it's the Head Gasket, are there any short-term options? [C70][1998]
