BURNT ANTIFREEZE SMELL
I have a 2011 F350 diesel 6.7l. I have had this smell outside the front of the vehicle for months and so I took it finally to a dealer to solve the leak problem. They spent hours on it and eventually found a leak in a tube at the rear of the engine under the intake manifold and supposedly solved my problem. That was 2 weeks ago and I have driven about 300km.(180 miles) but the smell is still noticeable. How long should I wait before it goes away or should I return it to the dealer for further work?

I have a V10, but I had a leak under the intake a while back as well. I don't drive my truck very often so it took quite a while for the antifreeze smell to go away. It of course made me wonder if I had a different leak I missed. I would give it a little longer before I would worry about it as long as your levels aren't going down.

I suggest booking a new appointment with your dealer, artfuldodger. What’s the current odometer reading of your vehicle? Please pass it on; I’ll see what I can do.
