silverton Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 you could have a pinhole leak in a hose that's spraying onto something hot so it evaporates right away and doesn't leave a puddle and the smell is getting in through the intake vents in the cowl.

MY1PATH Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 sounds like a leak in the heater core. Yes I know you used cold but its the same ducting so odors still cary over from one core to the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put a bottle under the drain on the vent system (firewall on passenger side) and see what color the fluid coming out is. If it is clear, no prob just normal condensation, green, you got a leak. You'll need to run the truck with the AC on a while to get some drainage. Edited July 13, 2010 by GrimGreg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think i have a small manafold leak because i can see some "wet" spots down the side of the manifold it self would that have the same smell and posibly get pulled into the cab??
