Antifreeze smell...Where is it coming from?

This Spring, I replaced the headgaskets, thermostat, all upper end gasets, new aluminum radiator. Put extra sealant on the thermostat housing and bolts where it connects to the intake. I can still smell antifreeze after a ride. No signs of leakage on the block, hose connections, radiator or anywhere. I have not had to add any additional antifreeze. Any ideas??? :confused:

Check your coolant overflow bottle under the R-F headlight. It my be cracked or overflowing (puking) It may be seeping into the front facia.

Check the T-Stat crossover gasket.

Check for the heater core to be leaking inside the heater box.

did you blow coolant out and into your hood liner before you did all this work. If it gets into the hood liner it will smell like coolant every time your motor heats up the liner.
