There is a sweet smell coming out when the fan is on. Sometimes, only the defroster works even if I want ac and then there is a steam or smoke that comes out of the defroster. But typically, the car has a permanent sweet small that I hate coming from the vents. I took the car to two different mechanics, one of whom pressure tested the compressor (?) and said there is no leak. Both could smell the smell and asked if I spilled antifreeze or something, but I did not and even if someone did, it has not burnt off. Nobody can find a problem and the mechanics suggested that I wait for a while to see if anything happens, but the smell is hurting my lungs and eyes. What could it be?

Thanks.

It sounds like the heater core is leaking into your ac box in your dash.Thats the only thing that really makes sense.
