I had this problem on my 99 Ford Windstar and it was because we had a leak in a hose right buy the heater intake and it was sucking in the air from what that leak was putting out. We replaced the hose and the smell went away. Also another key indicator if this is the problem is that eventually your coolant will run out and you will lose heat in the van as the hose that needed replaced carried the coolant from one place to another. I know pretty much nothing about cars so this is just from personal experience
