Maybe the heater core? C70 1998

I am almost positive that I'm *not* dealing with a leaking turbo, but I'm sure I will be eventually... so that *great* info to keep on the burner.

I checked the metal tubes coming from the back of the engine to the turbo assembly and don't see anything to suggest that I've got a fluid leak there. The fluid is not leaking out of the engine are, but more like the "drive tunnel" area where the Catalytic Converter is located.

I'm going to get back into the console here in a bit. I keep smelling coolant in my cabin air and I think that's where I need to investigate.

Looking at some the diagrams over at Tascaparts I think I can see how coolant night be getting into my circulation system. It looks like the center drain hose is at the bottom of the ducting that contains the evaporator core and the heater core and is also connected to the blower fan... I now suspect that my heater core is leaking or perhaps something was inadvertently disconnected when I was replacing my firewall block and tubes...

I'm dealing with replacing my hood release cable right now, but I plan to investigate the center console as soon as I get the engine compartment back together.
