Faint smell of anitfreeze

Post by leonpiper69 »

Kinda nervous. the PPV I bought Sunday, I noticed an odor of antifreeze at the back of the car when I opened the truck.

I thought at first maybe someone spilled antifreeze in the trunk so I sniffed around in there and found no odor or evidence of spills.

This morning while kneeling with the front door open (working on the seat) I could smell it again. The car running so I could get some AC since it's over 90 degrees lately everyday.

Under the hood there is no smell, at the tailpipe it isn't stronger but I don't see any puddles either....

I only ask since I don't know these cars that well yet and I know there are certain things like on my sliverado and my tahoe that go bad like the heater hose connection always breaks on those.
