antifreeze smell/ heater core question.

I own a 98XJ and have been smelling antifreeze really bad inside and outside of the vehicle. I doesn't matter if the heat or air is on/off, or if I run the fan through any vents or not. I have not had any antifreeze loss as of this occurance. And there is not any leaking on the passanger side floor. My windshield does tend to fog up in the middle and towards the passanger side. If the problem is indeed a heater core, does anyone know where to find one? I've tried Napa, Autozone, Partsamerica, pepboys etc. and supposedly they list that a heater core is "not available" for my make or model. Any help would be great

Thanks
 
you may not see it but is your carpet wet up near the heater core. Are you loosing fluid ? If so it's going somewhere. Look at the upper portion of the carpet on the passenger side and see if it's wet. The padding underneath can hold a lot of liquid.

good luck.
