It only happens when I turn on the heater.

On this vehicle, I began getting a smell that was like, the aroma of cows in a field. It was at the same time as a power steering leak. Any comments? Thank you. John

Check for a leaking heater core. Coolant has a bad smell, and if the core is leaking, you will smell it in the vehicle. Also, check the passenger side floor to see if it is wet.
