Could be a couple of things. My water pump leaked and I smelled it. My heater core leaked and I smelled it (even while running the ac). I am sure someone else will give some other causes.

I would pressurize the system and try to find where it's goin. Maybe it's just burning off from the flush? Check the condensate drain on the firewall for color, if it's yellow you got a bad heater core. Good luck
