Message:
my ? is this spring i recharged my ac system to the corect psi while the ac is runing like it is instructed to do. but just last week i started to get this smell coming though the air vent that smells like the ac coolent. so i went and tested the ac systems presure and it was just about were it was when i filled it up. but it is the coolent that has to be leaking it smell the same and it blows in when ever the blower is runing not just with the ac on cool or warm air get the smell of the coolent. any thoughts to were the leak could be from would be helpfull. im just cunfuzed do to there being no real drop in the psi of the ac system.

IF you smell antifreeze(smells different than freon)
then the heater core is prob leaking antifreeze and the fan is blowing it into the cab and will need replaced , also check the connections at the fire wall , i had one that leaked there and made it seem as the heater core was leaking when it was a loose connection at the fire wall

yes check the heater core and the hoses closly
it takes only a small coolant leak to make the smell, tis unlikely that the AC is leaking if you havent seen a pressure drop in 6 months, a simple test is to pinch both hoses off with long nose vice grips and drive for a few days and see if the smell goes away , hope this helps

well today i unpluged the sensor on the condencer that engages the compressior for the ac and the smell slowly went away. so i think it has to be due to the ac system at some area of it. ????
