coolent smell

[bluemtndrifter]

Im new to the forum, and also new to a Discovery, I have an 04 with 60000 miles and recently noticed a smell of anti freeze when the car is at idle and you step out. I can see no visible leak, and have not noticed any coolent missing from the jug..... wondering if anyone else has had this problem and any ideas on possible solution.

Check the coolant lines running to the anti ice feature of the intake... drivers side where the intake hose goes into the intake manifold.

Joey thanks, upon looking at that hose it actually looks like the coolent is dripping off of the bottom of the throttle body.

Easy fix then.... buy the new gasket and it less than an hour with basic tools you can change that in your driveway.
