We’re all fond of sweet maple syrup on our donuts, waffles, and pancakes. But when it comes to your car, a sweet scent is a major concern. If you catch a syrupy smell in your automobile, there’s a good likelihood you have a coolant or radiator fluid leak. Coolant, sometimes called antifreeze or radiator fluid, plays an essential role in keeping your engine cool and stable.

The chemicals in the fluid are able to draw excess heat away from the car motor. Sometimes, the coolant is used to allow repurposed warm air to heat up your and your passengers inside the cabin. Therefore, a leak can cause the sweet smell to escape into your car.  Coolant/antifreeze flows through various components, so it can be challenging to detect and diagnose a leak on your own. This fluid flows through the radiator, heater core, hoses, and more. To be sa ... read more
