Hi,I have a 91 mustang gt and i have noticed a antfreeze smell coming from under the hood and cant find any leaks. It steams a little after it warms up from engine somewhere but cant locate it. Any ideas? THX

I had the heatercore bypassed a while ago, its steaming from the engine, you can smell it fairly strong but looked everywhere for the leak.
