Antifreeze fumes can be toxic. Breathing them can cause health problems. If your vehicle is leaking coolant, especially from the heater core use care and repair the leak as soon as possible.
Breathing fumes from antifreeze cannot be good for your health as antifreeze is poisonous. If you are smelling fumes in your car you probably have a heater core leak. I recommedn you have this repaired ASAP. The only fix for a leaking heater core is to replace it. A very labour intensive job that is quite expensive.
The "fumes" are more than likely antifreeze from a leaky heater core.
Those "fumes" are more than likely coolant steam coming from a leaky heater core. Replacing the heater core is your best option.

Yes But: Breathing the anti-freeze fumes is not good for humans. Also running out of coolant and engine overheating will cause damage. If it's an emergency, bypass the heater core with a hose and clamps to route coolant back to engine.
Check inside the car undre the dash , check the heater core.
Generally, with that smell- the heater core has gone bad.
yup, sign of a bad heater core
Your heater core may have a leak in it, allowing the fumes to invade the inside of the vehicle.
yes it is. the heater core is located behind the dash on the passengers side. The dash has to be removed
Its possible that the oily fumes are from your a/c system..some models use same evaporator core for heater and a/c..if there is a rupture in the core, oil will be carried by the blower into your car interior..check your 134a or 12 refrigerant levels of the a/c and test pressures, if low or no press. theres your problem..hint: the a/c oil has a foul smel.. luck It sounds as if you have a heater core leaking. If you check the carpeting over on the passenger front side of the car, it will probably be wet. The fumes you are smelling are ethylene glycol, and the mist does not feel good in your lungs.
