When my car is running, whether I use cold or hot air, I smell antifreeze. The engine temp has not gone over the normal range yet. I think it's the heater core. Is this accurate? Or could it be as simple as a leaking radiator hose that attaches to the heater core?

How much does it cost to have it pressure checked? Also if it is a heater core, what's the usual cost to replace? Ballpark estimate is good.
