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.
