chevy silverado2003v6

I have the same vehicle, and have noticed a slight antifreeze smell after the engine is warm and the heater is on full. This has been happening almost since I bought the truck. I had the oil changed last week, and the coolant was slightly low in the jub, but the mechanis said that that was norman.

You probly have a seeping intake gasket...Have it looked at...When I get a low coolant jug lets say...I know there is eighter a leak or there was air trapped in the system....Did he really look at it or did he just say it was normal..Where did you get the oil changed at a fastlube place or a real garage? If you smell collant you have a leak,,,, Steve C
