1st guess - check for heater core failure

Cooling system pressure test and visual inspection

Agreed. That system would be the most likely suspect if you smell it in the cabin.

The frost you are seeing is on your AC lines. If you have your AC or defroster on, that is what they should look like. Not related to any coolant leak. If there is one, its elsewhere.

I would check your cabin filter first for any contamination.

if it is the heater core, are they going to have to tear apart the dash to fix?
