 Subject: Coolant smell
IP: Logged
Message:
When I start my truck in the morning and I drive it with the heat on it seems like there is a strong smell of coolant coming through the vents. I've checked for leaks and I've checked the level. Everything seems fine but I can't seem to figure out what it is that would be causing it. Anyone here have any ideas.
Thanks in advance guys.

You need a new heater core. There is a small leak that is being evaporated before it has a chance to drip. The longer you wait, the faster it will leak. The problem is that the window will usually fog-up.
