Re: [DML] car smells like antifreeze

I was having the same problem...turned out to be a small leak in the heater
control valve dripping onto the exhaust manifold crossover pipe. Hence the
smell. Since it was evaporating as soon as it hit the hot pipe...no puddle
under the car either. Reach back there and grab the valve when it's cold and
see if your hand comes up wet. Good luck.
