antifreeze smell

I’m sure you have already done this but, have you checked the engine compartment for any leaking?? Has your coolant reservoir dropped? Do you smell it inside the cab of your truck? Please advise...

Check the waterpump from underneath the truck. Look behind the pulley for any residue. Many times it will not leak enough to hit the ground but enough to smell it.
