Re: 2000 astro. smelly heat/defrost when on

The smell/noise is most likely a leaking heater core, there is no fix, replacement only.

Air distribution problem is a cracked, leaking, or broken vacuum hose between the vacuum fitting on the PCV valve, (driver side rocker arm cover) and the vacuum check valve under the hood, (passenger side), near the A/C accumulator.

Hope this helps
