The car has been running great since the timing belt, water pump, etc. was replaced 7,000 miles ago.
The only unusual thing I noticed was there driver's floor was soaked a few times during the fall. I thought it might have be a leak some where and rain water was getting in. Now I;m wondering if it could have been the heater core. I don't know where it is, but I assume it is on the driver's side. Testing ahead... I topped coolant off, and will check for moisture again. I saw a couple of small drips by the radiator switches. I will monitor that area as well as, along with hoses and the reserevoir. I will also eventually compression test it. I sure hope if isn't a head gasket. |

If you find it is the heater core, evidence will be found under the carpet.
By pass the core in the engine compartment to be able to keep it running and not losing anti-freeze until it is repaired.

When the car started overheating recently, I smelled antifreeze on the outside of the vehicle. One funny thing is, my son has been accusing me of farting in the car. LOL Recently, I started smelling an egg like smell as well. I stop by a shop close to my house and they identified a leak in the radiator. I will keep an eye on the coolant and swap out the radiator over the next week and keep you all posted. |

That rotten egg smell could be your catalytic converter. If you start losing power you'll need to check it and make sure it's not clogged or coming apart. What year and how many miles?
