Ive always had the scent of antifreeze after driving does anyone have this issue it doesn't leak or burn coolant but i just always had this issue even before the rebuild does anyone else have this problem?

 

Yes.

You need to pressurize the system when it's cold and look for the leak.

 

Thanks bud hopefully it's nothing major

It could be something as simple as a loose hose clamp or an old radiator cap. Look at your overflow tank and check for a split hose, missing cap or crack in the plastic housing. Look for green residue.

 

Are you using a heating manifold under an Offy intake? If so, wipe your finger around the fittings after you run it and see if they are 'sweating' fluid.

 

Yes I do have it under the manifold but I haven't hooked up the hoses yet.

 

Check for discoloration or what looks like calcium buildup around the water pump. It could be that under pressure your system is spraying a fine mist of antifreeze/coolant. Possibly not enough to puddle or even drip. But you would smell it. Good Luck.

 

Also the heater core/box.

 

"Also the heater core/box." That would be the usual culprit for coolant odor in the cab.

 

I had the same problem a year ago, and this was my problem. I couldn't track it down until one day I happened to pop the hood while the truck was warm and running, and noticed just a bit of dampness where one of my hoses left the water pump. It wasn't enough to really lower the coolant level, but was still enough to smell.
