And it comes, basically, from heat generated by the engine.

Why does my Jeep Wrangler have no coolant?
However, even if there is no coolant smell, but an issue with the heater, it is a good idea to check these hoses for heat. If the engine is warm, then you should feel heat from the hoses as well.
