My wife?s 2001 Dodge Durango gives off an antifreeze oder when the
heat or air is turned on.  The engine looks dry, and the antifreeze
level looks good.  Can anyone tell me why it smells like this?
Thanks.

The first place to look on that engine is at the base of the thermostat
housing, see if it is wet from a seepage, that gasket fails and will cause
the smell to come inside thru the air intake at the cowl, if you have a leak
you want it to be there because the next place to look would be the heater
core possibly leaking.

Check the carpets near the heater or better if you know where the heater
core is.
I have found when the heater core leaks, it will emit the smell,,,both ac or
heat..
