Strange odor

Had a friend that had a spicy smell when he turned his heat on in his car. Turned out to be a coolant leak in his heater system..... just a guess

 

Moosetek, I'm wondering if you would have more luck getting an answer here:http://www.thetruckersreport.com/truckingindustryforum/trucks-eighteen-wheelers/

Personally, I cannot equate the smell of an antifreeze leak with a spice, but that is just my opinion.

 

Mold......

 

Hi,Moosetek 13,Did you bring your truck to fix at India mechanic?India love to eat curry,That there favorite.

 

If there isn't an Indian hiding under the bunk than I would say a coolant leak. Another possibility with the changes in weather by chance have you been running the AC in the bunk area the past couple weeks? Clogged condensate drain, wet and moldy then turn the heat on will produce rank smells. There should be a drain tube back there and it could be clogged.

 

LOL OMG, its your Bunk Heater core, it has a pinhole leak and thats what you smell, mine had the same smell i thought maybe there was a dead paki wedged in there somewhere, lol it should be warrenty, that smell does make you feel sick so get that heater core replaced before your off warrenty
