you will notice oily bubbles in antifreeze, and if there is water in your oil it will turn into a creamy caramel color and sometimes even froth into a white lithium grease consistancy
To my re-collection, anti freeze will have an oder such as camphor. I haven't really had the opportunity to burn anti freeze or the experience of leakage on a hot engine or manifold. Hey, someone may have a better answer or a different type of smell.
Some people say that the smell of hot antifreeze smells like mold. It could be possible you are smelling the antifreeze from the engine.
your vehicle may smell like antifreeze while driving because it is overheating
Maple syrup.
Your car will not neccessarily smell like Antifreeze if your water pump is going, in my personal experience it sounds like your HEATER CORE is shot. That is what usually makes that smell, unless you spilled some on the engine. Also, if the water pump was going the car would run hot and/or overheat.
An antifreeze leak.An antifreeze leak.
most likely you need to replace te heater core.generally i if the leak is on engine you wont smell it in the car
if you can smell antifreeze, you have an antifreeze leak somewhere. you need to clean engine then look for coolant . it will generally pool on ground under vehicle unless it is leaking onto engine and burning off. note that the coolant will run so you may have to trace back to the actual leak. check all coolant fittings, such as hoses and check area round water pump.
I'm not a mechanic / technician but if white smoke is coming out of your tailpipe with the engine warmed up it sounds like you are getting engine coolant into one or more of your engine cylinders . ( bad head gasket / warped cylinder head ) Is the coolant / antifreeze mix also going into your engine oil )
if you smell it inside, it's the heater core it has a leak.
I think that means it fermented or something
if you smell like curry .
