your heater core has a slight leak, not enough to flood the interior, but enough to notice. At least that's what it sounds like.

I have to agree with Hotbug1776. You have a leaking heater core. Some of the signs are fogging windows when you turn the heat on or a strong antifreeze smell in the interior. A small leak is hard to detect. Stop leak is not a good idea and may make matters worse. The only sure way to eliminate the issue is to replace the core assembly.

Agreed on the stop leak...bad stuff, fills the hole but also fills the radiator and coolant passages as well as runs through your water pump.

I've never taken out the core in a sunfire, but it doesn't look like its a huge undertaking. A days work in a warm garage.
