Strong coolant smell
 
I have an 07 hemi and I just started noticing a
Strong coolant smell when I park the truck
I can only smell it outside of the pick up and I'm
Not sure why. I can't find any leaks. Any ideas anyone?

Welcome to DF. Have you opened the hood to try and poinpoint where the smell is coming from? You might have a pinhole leak which is allowing vaporized coolant to escape. First step is a thorough inspection of your cooling system. Hoses, overflow tank, radiator and cap, etc. Moving this to the correct section.

I have checked all that it threw a small leak in the Evap
system code about a week ago and I started noticing it then
I checked all over for a vacuum leak and a coolant leak and couldn't find either the truck has 150k on it so I'm skittle concerned the problem might be bigger than a leak but I haven't had any issues with it until now

Did you buy the truck new or used? Ever overheated it? Check around the water pump real good and more so towards the bottom where the weep hole is at
