BadilloD05 Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Hey guys. My '02 legacy gt recently started smelling like antifreeze inside and out. The car isn't overheating and There aren't any leaks. Any idea what this madness might be? Thanks in advance! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giffle Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 There must be a leak. You haven't found it yet. Did you try re-tighten every clips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RumbleRumble Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Open the hood and have someone start the car for you. I was loosing coolant and couldn't find a leak. It only happened on start up and once pressure was going it stopped. It was a loose upper rad hose clamp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lagwagn Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Have you considered heating core leaks? not a fun problem to have but could be a possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeuEmMaiMai Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 jack car up, remove diaper and look at each head, if there is wetness, that is your smell and that is what you need to fix. left side tends to leak first. next look at each hose and feel around the edge to feel for seepage past the clams. if there is wetness, replace hose(s) as needed. Very RARE for a heater core to leak and you would know as soon as it got hot. you would have an oily film ALL OVER your windows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
