my Q is ..because that happend...today i turned my a/c on...and i smelt antifreeze coming out of the vents..is that because my heater core is leaking or possibily because of the parts i spilled anti freeze on??|||if you wasn%26#039;t smelling anything before id try cleaning the anti freeze off with a water hose and see if that stopped the smell,most of the time you,ll smell the anti freeze for a day or two after some has been spilled out,then it goes away,if it were me id go ahead and clean it off now and see,if it was a heater core you,d be getting a greasy film on the windshield of you used the defroster in it,try that and see if you get anything on the windshield,that%26#039;s a good way to test and see if its the heater core gone bad,good luck.|||It%26#039;s probably anti-freeze fumes being drawn into the a\c intake duct. Drive the car for a couple of days and see if it goes away.
|||It is most likely due to the spillage. You dont mention what kind of vehicle you have, however if your heater core were leaking there would be anti freeze in the passengers side floorboard since most of them are located in the dash roughly behind your glove box.|||the coolant probably your exhaust manifold and is being burned away, it should take a day or two
