cooling system problem

Hello i have a cooling problem. My problem isent that the car overheats the temp runs normal but i smell coolent every now and then and cant find out where it is coming from? i checked the oil none in it there is no smoke what so ever coming out of the pips i put a piece of carboard under the car and all i get is a drop or two of oil nothing elese. i cant find the leak anywhere. i was thinking maybe the water punp or heater hose..
Thanks guys
Shane

Re: cooling system problem

Re: cooling system problem

Heater core would be my first guess. You don't need to have a puddle of coolant on the floor for it to be seeping and it's easy to smell.

Re: cooling system problem

check the water pump weep hole. with a flash light and a floor jack you can see from under the car.
