Smell antifreeze when heat is on?????

[BenSwanson]

The last week when I have been driving my 94 sho, i can smell antifreeze coming thru my vents when the heat is on. It is fogging up the windows with an oily residue. Does anyone know what is causing this???

Most likely a blown heater core that will need to be replaced. Good luck.

Its a rough one changing the heater core. Be prepared to pay $1000 to have it done. Stop leak may temporarly stop the problem. If stop leak pugs the leak you might want to consider selling. This defect seriously devaluates the car.

Kinda off the subject but my father was an english major (among others) so I'm forced to ask this in his memory. What the **** is, "devaluates"? I want to see you use that word in a game of Scrabble and get away with it!

It might be a "slang" word, but it was understood by all and didn't really cause a troublesome reading of the post. I'm certainly glad this forum isn't a Scrabble board - otherwise I for one would not be very well off.

If you don't mind freezing your butt off, you can always bypass the heater core altogether.

I know, I know, but it was a chance to poke a little fun that I could not resist. Besides I get tired of hearing people who are from this country, supposedly speak english as their 1st language and ****** it every day. One example that drives me crazy is the word "USE". The definition of this word in NOT "the plural of more than one person" (Do USE have any...?)!!! Anyway, later.
