wdaly Posted January 27, 2008 Report Posted January 27, 2008 For as long as I have owned this car (1988) the vent air is HOT in the summer and I actually use it to WARM the vehicle in the Winter. Now I am getting the smell of antifreeze thru the vents BUT only AFTER the temp. reaches 160 degrees. I don't think it's the heater core (hope not) no leakage. Cannot find any leaks under the hood, but the vapor seems to be drawn in from the outside - SO where is the AIR INTAKE for the heater core box? Bill D

It also removed the engine smells. Hope this helps. I have a LSC
