Your heater core might be leaking.

Every once in a while I get a smell and I'm not sure if it's antifreeze or not but when I went to get my oil changed they did say that it took some coolant and to keep an eye on it. I haven't really noticed any leaks or anything on the ground so I'm not sure what it could be.

I can smell antifreeze, but then again my heater core is leaking and needs replaced.

long as its not a fast leak and he carries a gallon of 50/50 with him to keep it topped off there isnt anything to worry about except the smell and wetness
