Hi everybody. I have a 1994 Cougar xr-7 with the 4.6 engine and when the car is in the yard idaling i can smell antifreeze but can't find a leak anywhere. Could this be a head gasket the smell is coming from the passanger side and the car has 102500 miles on it. Any help would be greatly appreicated.

had that problem with our 94 cougar. it was the heater core. it had a pinpoint hole in it where you couldn't see it. it sprayed anti freeze every time we turned the heater on. not the best solution but has worked for us was some stopleak poured into the radiator. our car hasn't leaked in over a year now. eventually we're gonna replace the heater core.
