Coolant leak V70 R

I have a coolant leak. After a 1/2 hour drive, after the car has been parked for a while, I get a puddle under the passengr rocker panel just under front door hinges. Smell in cabin when first putting on heat.

The original heater cores on these cars will leak. It's very common. Fortunately they are unusually easy to replace. RobertDIY has a good Youtube video on that.
