06 esky awd. When driving fir ling periods, i can smell antifreeze burning. I have replaced thermostat and lower hose. There are no visible leaks. I checked the passenger floor for wetness and nothing. Truck never runs hot. I'm at a loss. Where can the fluid be going?

I was losing antifreeze at the plastic connector at the firewall, I was losing quite a bit and could smell it burning. Ended up being a cheap fix

Look at the water pump weep hole. When they start leaking out of the weep hole it can be very minute and it will actually evaporate from engine heat before it hits the ground (You will smell it but not see it). Though having said that, evaporating antifreeze will leave behind a crusty gree, residue. Look for that residue around the water pump weep hole.

casper1102 that is exactly where the leak is. While changing the unit, i felt around the connections and one was wet. I will change the connector in the am and fill the system back up.

Thanks a bunch.

I'm not sure it was cold out when I found my leak and I had a warranty so I didn't fix it myself
