When ever the car shuts off, there is a strong anti-freeze smell. There is no visible signs of any leaks (while running or turned off). The radiator and the reservoir has antifreeze and it is not low. Is there anything that I should be concerned about or an area I am overlooking for a leak. Thank you

you probably have a small leak somewhere, since your not noticing antifreeze level going down.

i have a 87 ford that i love to death not a single leak anywhere on it and it smells like antifreeze under the hood all the time, in 4 years the level hasnt gone down the slightest!
