Good Morning Everyone



2004 Dakota QC 4.7L Stared it this morning (65 deg outside) and smelled a very sweet smell. Like candy. Took me awhile to realize, probably Radiator fluid. Don't see or feel any leaks. The AC is off but the fan is on low. Any ideas where to look? Cecil

Heater core.

Your carpet on the passenger side may be wet as well. You can disconnect and plug or join the two hoses temporarily to keep you movin'.

Roy is probably right on with this suggestion. Best bet is to join the "in" and "out" water lines with a coupling rather than trying plugs. Just don't forget to replace the heater core and reconnect the hoses before next winter:) or else you're gonna be in deep s*it if you live in a cold climate.
