Car Forum / Ford / Ford Explorer / November 2006Antifreeze Smell
Howdy, I've had this problem for quite awhile now and can't quite figure it out. I always smell anti-freeze whenever I turn off the engine in my 1994 Explorer. When I open the hood, I find trace amounts on the A/C hose that runs across the top of the engine compartment. I can never find the source of the leak as there is never any trace on the ground. Probably because it's such a small leak. Has anyone had any kind of problem like this? Just curious before I start to rip sh.t apart. Thanks. Just a thought... Do your windows fog up by chance? Check the firewall/floor board directly under the passenger side glove compartment. If the firewall and/or carpet is wet, or damp, chances are your heated core is leaking. This can give off an anti-freeze smell inside the vehicle, foggy windows, and a damp/wet firewall and carpet. Good luck, Steven > Howdy, > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > problem like this?

It's definitely coming from the engine compartment, but like I said, there is never any large accumulation. > Howdy, > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > problem like this?
