2000 Honda Civic antifreeze smell

Hi jujubug378,

When smells of anti freeze occurs, coolant is either leaking or splashed onto the engine or exhaust and emitting the smell when it heats up.

The level might be good for now but it would be advisable to get a pressure test done to check if any leakage is occurring. When very minor leaks occurs, it might not be easily visible but the smell is an indication and warning sign.
