I have a 29 lt3 v6, when the windows are down I'm getting whiff's of warm antifreeze, think I've added some some as well in the past 15k miles, has anyone experienced the same.

When I bought My 2019 two months ago, from a dealership, Chevy..the radiator failed, tensioner and belt. Right after I bought it. Took it right back! They tried telling Me nothing was wrong, oh yes it was! If antifreeze hits that belt it will squeal.

2019 v6 - I'm experiencing the same thing right now, about to make a dealer service appt. Definite coolant on a hot engine smell but not enough of a leak to hit the garage floor, can't see where under the hood either, but definitely a leak. Only 18k miles.

I had a cracked auxiliary coolant pump that was replaced under warranty month 2 of ownership.

Going back in Monday for another Coolant leak somewhere. Smell it only, no leaks found yet.

Leaking radiator I’m on my 2nd radiator! Leaks from the top portion of radiator , at least that’s where mine have been.

Ah....The maple syrup smell?

I'll probably get some coolant dye and use my UV light to try and find it.

 

[nwohiochevyguy]

No diagnosis for my "smell" while at the dealer.
Guess I order some dye and look myself.

Finally went to dealer, it was a bad Radiator, leek coming from the upper seams. they replaced it. Go figure, they should do better on Quality control

I just had to replace my radiator to the tune of $1039. It was also leaking from an upper seam like yours. I've only had it for a year and 8 months. I bought brand new thinking I wouldn't have all of the repairs. Last July had to have the fuel pump and a wheel bearing replaced and I'm on my 3rd set of 21 inch tires.

I am worried now. Is this a comm Issue with the Blazer? I have a 2020. 21K miles. Have added coolant nothing excessive Don’t smell or see any leaks
Did I buy a bad Chevy product?

Mine also smells like a burnt smell . Replaced radiator fluid . Still smells like burnt
