I haven't smelled any coolant. However, that doesn't mean it's not leaking. I might check that out, but it's going to have to wait until it gets warmer as the car is outside.
I drove it a couple of times in the last couple of days. As the frost melted, I wiped it up with a rag, then removed the rag from the car. There is much less frost on the inside windows now. I also picked up a couple of containers of silica-gel that are supposed to protect an area of about 66 cu.ft.. I think that should be pretty close on the Box. They have indicators that change color when they are saturated and then I can just throw them in the oven to dry them out again. So far, they're not saturated and they seem to be helping a bit too.
I think when it gets warmer I'm going to have to check the heater core; the drains; and the window, door and top seals. Something's letting moisture in, but it's too cold to go pouring water on the car now.
