i smell antifreeze in my car but cant find no leaks?

Answer 1

Well its hard to diagnose without looking but check your carpet to see if it gets wet on the passenger side. I would guess the leak is from you heater core. Good luck

Answer 2

I had an 85 Bronco that would smell like anti freeze and accually run low on fluid over a span of 2-3 months. It was worse in the winter, thus leading me to believe there was a small leak in the heater core or hose. Never did find the leak. I used some coolant system sealer in a bottle, but sold it soon after. Doesn't answer the question, but theres my story about it!

Answer 3

If you are not seeing any leaks and the coolant is not going low at all, then don't worry. My Nissan Titan always smells like coolant, but there is no leaks. All the Titans are like this. It may be just fumes from the hot antifreeze that you are smelling.

Answer 4

I smell it too? RIGHT! What the heck kind of car year make miles and model engine size. Each car has its own areas of interest when checking for coolant leaks many time very small radatior leaks evaporate before they reach the ground.

Answer 5

Could be radiator .... could be blown head gasket... hopefully not.. do you have white exhaust if you do uh oh... actually do you smell it inside the car? then if you do it might be the heater core..

Answer 6

your heater core is bad or going bad. Do your windows fog up if so your heater core is bad. It could be a bed radiator hose too.
