Coolant smell

TuffTitan · 11-03-2004, 02:59 AM

I was wondering if anyone has been experiencing this problem? It seems like every time that I get out of my truck, I smell coolant. I have checked the level in both the radiator and the overflow container and both seem fine. The dealership has been unable to find any leaks (they did a pressure test on the cooling system). I realize that cooling systems are closed systems so the only thing that I can attribute is a small amount of blow by is occurring. If that is the case, does anyone know what the solution is and or long term affects for continuing to drive with this happening? Maybe this is a good one for the Tappet Brothers?

im glad im not the only one. mind you, its not all the time. but sometimes ill get out of my TITAN and walk around and when i get to the front: coolant smell. no leaks or anything like that. just a faint smell of coolant/antifreeze. its really got me stumped.

Do a search, but I believe some of the early Titans had a faulty radiator cap. I believe the seal was wearing out. Perhaps this could be the cause of the odor.
