Is it bad to smell antifreeze?
Antifreeze fumes can cause eye and respiratory tract irritation. However, antifreeze shouldn’t be systematically toxic unless physically consumed. Antifreeze can also cause mild skin irritation, though the fumes are far more harmful.
Why does my Jeep Wrangler smell like coolant?
There is no coolant smell in the cabin. No abnormal puddles under the car. The only things I can think of are: the radiator is leaking and I don’t see it; or, the reservoir vent hose is just letting some smells out. I did a little digging, but I was only able to turn up information pertaining to the Wrangler and Cherokee.
What’s the temp of the coolant in a jeep?
The level in the reservoir is right at the “MIN” mark, and it hasn’t moved in a few weeks. The lid is on tight, and the radiator hose cap (the silver one to the right of the reservoir) is also on tight. The temperature gauge stays within normal operating parameters.
Why does my air conditioner smell like antifreeze?
The O.M. may recommend just checking the overflow tank level, but if you have a leak in the cooling system, when the engine cools off and the coolant contracts and forms a vacuum to suck coolant back in from the overflow tank, the leak allows air to be sucked in instead of coolant from the overflow tank.
What should I replace the radiator on my Jeep Wrangler?
Just replaced mine ’12 last week. Unfortunately it looks like the OE radiator may be the best replacement (and will probably fail a few years later) as I’ve heard of a lot of failed Mishimoto aluminum “upgrades” Check out the Sticky about a class action lawsuit…

Is there a coolant leak under the hood?
I too have a 2014 GC Limited 3.6L . Like you, I have not seen any evidence of a coolant leak under the hood. Not to scare you but be on the lookout for white smoke from the hood on non-cold mornings. It took a couple of years after I noticed but my radiator eventually sprung a leak and had to be replaced.
