Antifreeze smell
2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee.
You can smell Antifreeze when driving no loss of fluid in both radiator and over flow bottle. The Jeep is not running hot.
Any Ideas?????

Wrong forum, but it's your heater core anyway. Small seep. You can buy some time with this, but it's going to have to be replaced.

^^^ More than likely but check where the two hoses go through the firewall. If they butt up against the firewall maybe a clamp/clamps are loose letting coolant leak in.

Old fart with a wrench
If you only smell it outside, check the water pump's "weep" chamber. It's a small pocket underneath the bearing that holds about a tablespoon of coolant that's allowed to evaporate and not show a leak.
