Leaking Rad Smell

[rickfen]

When I get in my car after it's been sitting overnight, I get a distinct "leaking rad smell". I'm basing my description on my memory of the "old days" when I couldn't afford a decent car and there was always something wrong with what I was driving(

It goes away within a few minutes, and doesn't "smell" again until I leave the car overnight. I don't notice it if I park somewhere and then get into the car after an hour or two.

I mentioned it to the dealer and they said they looked but couldn't find any leaks.

Anyone got an idea or similar situation?

Thanks

You mean like fluid or do you mean mildew? The latter is (unfortunately) not uncommon in a humid climate, the former is not normal.

Definitely fluid smell, not mildew (I've had that in previous cars)

No, that is not normal. Off to service.
