If the smell returns every time you turn on the heat, you still have a
leak.

Albeit a small one, perhaps, but only an on-going leak with keep the
hot-syrupy smell around. I bet the insides of your windows have a
slightly slimy/smeary film after a month or two, eh?

Subject: removing colant smell

Does any one have a idea to get rid of the colant smell from the rear
heater?
Once upon a time there was a leak and it was repaired. now when i turn
on the
rear
blower i get the sweet smell of colant but for only about 2 min then it
is
gone. I have double/triple checked for leaks and have found none. I have
used
a "steam cleaner"
 with no luck Any ideas?
