It's hard and expensive and involves taking the dashboard apart. How exactly to do that I'm not sure. But if you're having the same problem I am - leaking antifreeze on your floors and steam coming out of the vents - then I suggest bypassing the heater core. Connecting the tube. Downside no heat or defrost. But it will stop the leak.
You have a vacuum leak somewhere. Check under the hood for a disconnected or broken vacuum line.
If its a sweet smell you may have a heater core leak and the fan is blowing antifreeze thru the vents. If its a moldy rotten smell you have mold growing in your vents. This happens when the moisture does not drain properly causing mold. You can purchase a spray at most auto parts store to kill and stop this and refresh your air vent system.
Sounds like the heater core is leaking!

you can stop team steam when you stop it

The simple solution is to set your heater to recirculate so no new fresh air comes in. If it is coming in through the doors and such you may need to replace the seals.
Used in power generation. When steam turbine is on-line the Main Steam Stop Valve is fully open. When offline it is closed. Steam to turbine is controlled thru control valves after Main Steam Stop Valve
