When i drive the car i get a smell of coolant. i did get the smell when i turned on my heat but know i do not anymore. i only get the smell when i'm driving it and only get the smell when the windows are down. someone told me it was the headgaskets but i do not think that it is. i have also changed the waterpump so that isnot the problem. i have no idea what it is and wanted to see if you guys know.

do you notice any coolant leaking, maybe frome heater hose and burning on your header. Do you have one of those coolant flush hook ups?

tkwhitestang

nope, nothing is coming fromt the heater hose and burning on the header. wouldn't that be a heater core than is that was happening?

You can't see any leaking coolent? For you to smell it there must be agood amount leaking.

Mine does the same thing. It drips just little drops at a time onto my header. It comes from a metal pipe right above the drivers side header. The smell sucks[:'(]

you need to pressure test it and look for the green stuff running on the ground

yea, mine leaks too. My heater core was leaking and i bypassed it. Now the metal pipes leading to the heater core slowly drip onto my header and burn up. It stinks.

tkwhitestang

yea it does leak a lot. i fill it up than is about 3/4 leftwithin two days. but i see a very small puddle if not anything when i pull it out.

Riceinator

where abouts does it puddle up underneath?

so trace the leak back to source of orgin
