Best Answer

Odorless. What you are smelling is antifreeze, leaking from the heater core in your car.

I DISAGREE: Freon smells a bit like ether and should not be inhaled.

Freon is a gas that does not have a color or smell, however, you should NOT breathe it.

More Information on Freon Below:

(It CAN have an Odor, and is Dangerous in enclosed spaces!)

Freon R134 is a gas used to charge A/C units.

The actual R-134a DuPont Brand name is Suva® 134a... and R-134a DOES have an odour, it is a difficult to detect, "sweet , ether-like" odour.
