If it's leaking from inside the car then heater pipe might be coroded or n loose clamp If it looses engine coolant u will know it comes from the heater box
Major auto parts stores have code readers and will read out your codes for free. The engine light indicates that at least one code is waiting to be read.
You can see the coolant level by looking through the opaque round coolant reservoir. It should be just over the middle. There's a line indication proper level. Orange Dexcool meets the VW specification and is generally available. The rear coolant flange can warp and seep over time and leaks onto hot parts. That's probably why you smell it.
most autoparts stores will run the check engine light for you for free....I am assuming that you either have a clogged catalytic converter, or your o2 sensor is throwing a fault....have autozone check it out and post back.

The fault that you are getting p0599 is described as
thermostat heater control circuit high and is probably attributed to a failed
map controled engine thermostat.
You need to replace the above said thermostat for its perfect working..
Assuming you have the V6 engine the oil is undoubtedly from leaking Cam Adjuster Gaskets on the back left & Right front of the heads (L&R). They are a pattern failure on these motors and must be changed when the timing belt is serviced. A Big Job!
You will have to read the computer codes to know what the CEL is on for.
Check the backpressure in the engine ( remove the oil fill cap when engine is running ). You should feel only a light airflow in and out of the filler cap hole. If there is really pressure, your piston rings are worn out. Rebuild the engine.
Check the compression on each cylinder and the state of the spark plugs.
U HAVE A HEATER CORE LEAK, DOES THE SMOKE SMELL SICKY SWEET? AS FAR AS THE CEL GOES HAVE THE SYSTEM TESTED FOR FREE BY ANY KRAGEN AUTO OR AUTOZONE, JUST ASK FOR A OBD 2 TROUBLE CODE TEST, THEN POST THE CODE BACK HERE FOR US TO LOOK AT AND TRY AND DEVELOPE A FIX STRATEGY.
