2000 s10 blazer antifreeze smell

My blazer has a bad smell and the windows sometimes fog up but I am not
losing any fluids and there are no wet spots on the floor. We flushed
radiator but still have the smell. Any suggestions? Thanks

Check the heater core..........a leak will cause the windshield to fog up
and you will get that great anti freeze smell also......MRT

Pressure test the cooling system with the engine warm if you have a
factory installed heater bypass valve.

To me it would sound like you have a steam leak in the heater core. I
had this problem before. Would only leak steam when up to operating
temp, yet would not leak cooliant. It was caused by a very small crack
in a soilder/braze joint.

Heater Core!!! Had one go out in my 86 Mustang, now having to do the same with my 94 S10 truck.
Ever notice how it only happens in the winter?
