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 shit 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

Sorry, that should be heater core, not 'heated core' :o)
My bad,

If the leak is that small, it sounds like an ideal job for one of the stop leak products. They work well on small leaks.

Nope. The windows are not fogging up. It's definitely coming from the engine compartment, but like I said, there is never any large accumulation.
