Ok one: The antifreeze smell that you mentioned is one good symptom. However some newer antifreeze don't really smell that much as the old "glycol" based liquids.
Best one: Mist and moisture in the windows especially when heat is turned to high and engine / glasses / air are not warm yet.
Not really a good one: As I have followed the BB there has not been any (or atleast very few) indications of leakage of liquid inside the car. The housing of the core is "inside" the bulkhead and thus most propably the liquid leak will be shown inside the car (under the floor mats). However in these cases the loss of coolant should be huge.
Most propable cause IMO for wet carpets / water inside is a leaking windshieled.
