because it broke
the radiator itself no but the coolant that it carries has distinct odor Any paint on the new part could smell.
you would smell gas or hear it
if you have a gas leak.
few things is can be one blow head gasket two crack head cylinder, I had that problem too smelled gas in the coolant found out the head gasket was worn out and letting coolant and oil mix in the combustion chamber
That usually means that you have exhaust gasses dissolved in your radiator coolant; generally indicative of a head gasket problem or a cracked head (or block for that matter).
Because the truck is leaking silly if u smell gas why u driving its leaking
The smell of antifreeze is very strong and distinct, it does not take much of a leak to smell it. The radiator could still be full and have a small leak. I would check for antifreeze dripping onto the exhaust or on the engine block because when it is hot the smell is much more noticeable from the fumes.
There is nothing that can cause a gas smell from your heater. There are however a few possible reasons why you experience a gas smell. One could be that fumes from the exhaust are entering the passenger compartment.The other possibility is that your heater could be leaking and what you are smelling is coolant or antifreeze as some people call it. The heater consists of a small radiator and a fan, it circulates hot water from the cooling system through the radiator and the fan blows air through the radiator just like the radiator in front of your car. There is nothing that can cause a gas smell during this process. Check to see if your exhaust system does no have a leak by holding a rag over the tailpipe and get someone to listen at the front. The chances are that the fan is drawing in exhaust gas and circulating themn in the passenger area.
My engine light was on and I had a gas smell in my 2000 CRV when the pipe from the gas cap to the gas tank rotted out. It was replaced for ~$500 by Aamco.
you would smell it or hear it or you wouldget a biger gas bill then normal
Perhaps a gas leak? The gas we use for cooking is originally odourless, but a smell is added during manufacturing to let us know if there is a leak, and this smell is most commonly sewer-like.
A bad coil pack would not smell like gasoline.
