Dodge Dakota problem?

Question

I can smell coolant inside the vehical, I have pressure tested it and it was fine...... Please help

Answer 1

i own a repair shop,and even a tiny pin hole will not show up on a pressure check test sometimes,it sounds like you could possibly have a tiny ,tiny hole in the heater core causing this to happen and also sometimes when the engine deposits the unneeded coolant back in to the reservoir jug it will make them smell a little bit,try checking to see if the carpet on the passengers side feels damp any at all this might help you determine if its a heater core or not,good luck with it,i hope this helps.

Answer 2

Go Pressure Wash Your Engine At A Car Wash, Then Clean The Inside, ANd Put A Scent In It. That Should Solve The Problem, You Probaly Have Leftover Collant Near The Engine Just SItting.
