Last week on my way home from work I noticed a sweet smell mixed with coolant smell with my heater on. I have no visible leaks under my car so searching on here it sounds like its probably my heater core. Today I felt the passenger floor at lunch but its dry. Windows fogging up a bit too with the heat on. When I got home I felt the plastic cover/duct where the core is and I did get a little coolant on my finger. So has to be the heater core need replacing, right?

So if that's the case would I need to replace the heater hoses in the engine bay? Is this a bad idea to wait til the weekend to replace the heater core and keep driving it?
