You will need to keep an eye on it if it is the heater as you could overheat your engine, ie same water...

antifreeze smells and tastes sickly sweet, and your radiator level may have dropped if the heater matrix is leaking.
I say may have dropped, because the leak could be causing an airlock so you may not see the level drop

Check and re-fill with coolant. Run the engine until warm and the stat is open. Check for leaks from heater pipes & heater matrix.
Repair/replace as necessary.
