Hey all new here....Nice place.

I have a 96 honda civic base 5 speed 4 banger. Yesterday I swear I started smelling antifreeze through the vents. I don't see any signs the the oil and antifreeze are mixing. How else can I tell if my head gasket is going?
What else may cause this if not the head gasket?

Thanks in advance for any help.

were you using the heater? could have a bad heater core

Well is it overheating? you should go to a radiator shop or any other shop and get a compression check of the motor or radiator press. You could also get a vacum press.
