[Shotimes] anti freeze smell

[Paul L Fisher]

No. Check the clamps for your heater hoses right up against the firewall.
Make sure they are tight. Better yet, remove them and replace them along
with new hoses. The coolant develops a fine leak and  sprays into the heater
core box giving you that smell. SHO heater cores are very durable and hardly
ever go out.

Guys

I have a '93 ATX with less than 150,000 miles. However, on occassion I get a
whiff of antifreeze smell inside the car; even though my antifreeze level
does not drop much. 

hate to ask, BUT am I getting ready to lose my heater core??? can I pressure
test the cooling system and find out if this is the problem?? And I also
have heard rumors that this replacement is a beast, but how involved is this
heater core replacement? I do have the big Helms manual, but does anybody
have any instructions that can help out on this possible "test of will"??? I
don't see any posted on the shotimes topics??
 Thanks
Bob
