Your heater core is leaking. Maybe not much but enough so you can smell it. Check the passenger side floor. It will show up here. ALSO DONT WASTE TIME WITH STOP LEAK, REPLACE IT. STOP LEAK WILL NOT HELP YOU HERE. ALSO ONE MORE THING, GET A BUNCH OF WINDEX TO CLEAN THE WINDOWS IF IT GETS THAT BAD. IT WILL OMIT A GLAZE ON THE WINDOWS THAT WILL DRIVE YOU NUTS.

Most of the time it is caused by a hole in the heater core, do you smell a sweet smell? The sweet smell would be the antifreeze.

You normally smell the antifreeze so open the hood and look for a leak before you see it big time running out from under your car.

this sweet smell sounds like you have an antifreeze leak in your heating/cooling system. most of the time it is the heater core
What could be wrong with a 1982 cavalier wagon overheats and then won't start. Plenty of antifreeze in system so trying to figure it out?
No oil flow to the crank shaft bearings. If it starts when cooled off you have fried motor. Smell the oil on the dipstick if it smells burnt don,t waste your time trying to fix it!
What causes your engine to burn antifreeze?
Your car shouldn't "burn" antifreeze. If it actually is "burning" antifreeze then chances are you have a blown/leaking head gasket or possibly a cracked engine block which allows antifreeze to enter the combustion chambers. If your antifreeze is just disappearing then it is probably leaking out from somewhere. Possible leak areas to check out would be the radiator hoses, heater hoses, radiator, water pump, and the heater core. Most of the time if the heater core is leaking you'll be able to smell the antifreeze inside the car while the engine is running and the heater is on.

When you drive up a hill the car smells hot but it's not burning oil what's wrong?
The hill is causing the car to work harder. Heat will increase. One common smell would be a rotton egg or sulpher smell from the catalytic converter. This should not be uncommon or too much of a worry. When the car is cool, check radiator an make sure there is fluid there AND in the reservior. Add antifreeze if neccesary. Be sure the hot smell is not a burning smell. It would be good to check other fluids at this time. Pay attention to any other symptoms. If there is a burning smell, check around the exhaust system for anything against it that may burn. Check transmission fluid level, etc. Are there any other symptoms?
Can antifreeze burn?
No, but it breaks down over time.
