Hey, I could swear I am not imagining it- but I smell antifreeze coming through my vents. I looked under the car but all I saw was clear water dripping. Looked under the hood and I saw no leaks around hoses or radiator. All I really could see was what looked like water under where the pulleys and belt are....
So whats the most likely cause for the antifreeze in the ventilation? Kinda worried bout breathing that crap in especially with a kid in the car...

kinda sounds like your LIM is done. burning off coolant when it spews out and gets on the hot motor.

the heater core is underneath the glove box.
If it is leaking the air coming through the vents would blow the smell right in
