What happens if I use too much Bars Leak?

Because of this BB, two years ago I started using Bars Leak in my 1992 9000 (76k)just as a preventative measure,but recently I have started smelling anti freeze (very faint) in the cabin. I assume this is the famous heater core problen that so many of you have enjoyed. I really do not wish to repair this for a couple of months and I observe no noticeable loss of coolent, so I'm wondering if I can add more Bars? I have been adding two bottles a year as the directions state and the last bottle was put in 7/15/00 or 5200 miles ago. What would be some possible long term problems with adding another bottle at this time? or is it a mute point, in that once the core begins to leak thats the ball game? Thanks,so much. You guys have a great day.
