Smelling coolant
Ok so I havent had this problem with this truck yet so I dont remember what causes it. I own a 98 f-150 2x with the v-6 my heater wouldnt work right so I checked the coolant level. It was a little low. So i leveled it off. Now when I run the truck for any extended period of time, i smell antifreeze. No puddles or nothing. Just a smell.

update
Dad (long time Ford owner) Says it might a water pump. Cause I only smell it outside of the truck. No puddles. Dad says if it only leaks under pressure, (when I drive it often) the heat of the engine will evaporate the coolant leaving that "sweet smell" with no puddle any thoughts? Or should I bow gracefully and change the stinkin pump? lol (hes done this before lol)
