If my 97 expedition is leaking coolant - how would I know. I am getting the antifreeze smell out the AC vents but can see no drips or liguid in the cab. Would the degas bottle be empty or not full.?

The "antifreeze smell out the AC vents" would mean only one thing, you have a small leak in the heater core.

It depends on if you see the antifreeze leaking or it is just disappearing. If it is just disappearing then a bad head gasket or cracked head may be the problem. The smoking could actually be vaporized antifreeze. If that is the case don't run it until you can get it fixed.
