Ok, here's the situation. When I turn on the defrost, the windshield fogs up immediately, and I smell coolant, bad. Classic signs of a leak in the heater core. Got that.
Though, if I keep the heat level to cold, and the entire system off, I smell zero coolant. Until I get into boost. I'm thinking, is boost making my cooling system leak? Then, I try to bring the car up to freeway cruising speed (70) without touching the boost at all. Now I do get the coolant smell a little bit then, but not nearly as much as when I get into a boost condition. So I started to think, is this just the water pump moving faster, and exacerbating this leak I have?
Then I come across the 2nd post in this thread:

And I thought ****.......
Tell me what to look for next....
