the valve is leaking small amounts of coolant onto the heater core. when you turn the heat on it evaporates, hence the smell.
pain to replace due to tight space under dash, but not technically difficult. get a flexible driver extension or equivalent; will help with the bolts.
change it from below, not via speaker hole.
there's a faq here on this, and also at townsendimports.com. bentley is handy too. the townsendimports method did not work for me but thereis good info there nonetheless.
