Anti-Freeze smell
Well, last week my 04Z had a major radiator breakdown (cracked according to TirePlus), they replaced radiator, hoses, thermostat and flush the coolant. After 2 days when I got back my Z, anti-freeze smell coming out from the engine bay. There is no visible leak that I can see. AC, heater are working fine.
Not sure what else to check. Anybody had seen this problem before? Thanks! |
I would imagine that the radiator sprayed a lot of coolant into the engine bay. It will dissipate after a few miles of driving. Or, you could hose off the entire engine bay to help it along.

Smell will linger
Pop your hood and Inspect after u drive or check if dripping where you park after you have drivin |
Yep. This is what mine did when it popped. Went all over everything. Had to spay it all down to finally get rid of the smell.

This ^ on my old car, I took off my hood and cleaned the insides on the driveway with some simple green and water. Did the trick

Thanks for all the ideas guys, it was really a mess when all hell break loose in there. I'll try to hose down the engine bay, could be an opportunity to clean them all.
