What cause it to overheat when after a few mins, of driving with the ac on, and the fan shut off when it started to overheat and the AC stop blowing cold air. There is no leaks of coolant in the ground, but there is a light smell of sweet coolant coming from the front of the engine area. Any suggestion thanks
