I've been smelling it for a while and the radiator coolant level has been dropping for a while too. I went around a corner today and hot coolant came from somewhere under the dash (near the middle) and splashed on my leg, buring my skin. So, my questions are? Where is it likely to be coming from? Is it from the heater box? If so, Is the heater box inside the car or is it in the engine bay somewhere? If it is the heater box, are replacements available? If not the heater box, how else/why else would engine coolant be inside the cabin? If it is the heater box, are they a bugger to replace? Thanks. Paul E

Yes, it's likely to be from your heater box. Coolant pumps from the radiator, through the engine, through

I have had the hose develope a leak just where it attaches to the heater pipe.
