08 sedan running hot and smells funny inside - Toyota Yaris Forums

I have temp gauge on mine and it has always been at 180. A few days ago the car began to smell funny inside, maybe antifreeze or hot water. The temp is fluctuating between 180-190 mostly, if sitting in traffic it has hit 200. There is a drain hose on passenger side against firewall that started leaking. I have filled up radiator and overflow bottle. I am thinking it might be heater core but was looking for other ideas. The radiator fan seems to be working when it should. I flushed the radiator and still same problem. Any ideas are appreciated.

Thanks.
