So i have a 1996 Honda accord ex. I realized that it was getting HOT really fast, almost going to the red, and thats when i realized i had no more antifreeze. After refilling it i then started to smell antifreeze in my car really bad. I looked for any kind of physical leaks, but i cant find ANY... So what could be causing the horrible smell to seep into my car with no noticable leaks anywhere?

Hi javih6947,

Thank you for the donation.

If the smell is from inside the cabin, you have a leaking/faulty heater core located under the dash. Replacement requires the dash to be remove to gain access.
