Oil looks fine.  No sign of contamination in the drain pan.  Occasionally I
do catch a whiff of coolant in the cabin.  I will check the clamps on the
heater core.  Thanks.

Have you done a compression test? Is your oil cloudy? If there are no
obvious wet spots, head gasket?

Other than that, one place that is notorious on SHO's and Tauri in general
is where the heater hoses go into the heater core. They spray just enough
that it goes in the heater core box and leaves no obvious dripping. In that
case, however, the smell is usually fairly pronounced.
