What is wrong when there is a burn smell from the heater after adding radiator fluid?
Radiator fluid or antifreeze as it's called circulates through your heater core under the dash and provides you with heat and warm air for defrost. If you are smelling it inside the car then your heater core may have a leak. IS there any visible signs of leakage on the carpet in the car? The heater core usually has an inlet tube and an outlet tube through the firewall and maybe one of these is leaking. It could be leaking on the outside as well. Look for wetness around any hoses connecting to any tubes coming through the firewall. If you keep having to add antifreeze, you definitely have a leak.
Why you smell radiator fluid?
If you are smelling the sweet but unpleasant aroma of antifreeze, your vehicle is leaking it somewhere. A lot of the time the culprit is the water pump. They have a weep hole and when the bearing starts to fail it will begging leaking from this hole. I would start by getting myself a flashlight and start scanning your engine's water hoses for a leak. Check the mail hoses going to/from the radiator as well as the heater hoses leading to the firewall. Do you smell the antifreeze odor INSIDE the car? If so, it could be your heater core that's failing.
Is it dangerous too smell coolant in your car?
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.
