Ahhh, the aroma of coolant....

When I start up the car after it has been parked for 5 to 30 mins after the engine is warmed up, I get a whiff of coolant. It goes away almost immediately--usually 10 to 30 secs and it's gone. This only happens in warm weather. Noticed it late last fall, and not at all during the winter. Now that it's warm out again I get the aroma. but not all the time--maybe half the time at most. No fogging of glass or any other signs of a shot heater core.
I think the core has been done on the car, but not positive. I have no indication of a leak on the floor. There are no hose leaks evident in the aquarium and other coolant hoses seem fine. Coolant level is fairly stable, have added maybe a pint or so since getting the car in Sept 03. Have some Barrs Leaks in the system.
Any ideas?
