i have an 03 rincon that i overheated once. the connection for the fan and temp light came aprt. the problem is now that is smells like antifreeze everytime the fan kicks on. at first i though it was just some colant that was burning off after the overheat. but that was like 3 monthes ago. think i could have a pinhole anywhere? the coolant level stays the same. thanks for looking!

 

Yeah, pinhole, bad thermostat, or a loose hose clamp, doesn't take much A-F to make them stink, Check if the radiator drain plug on the water pump is leaking or loose also. Check all hoses and fittings going to the reserve tank. If the leak is real hard to find, you may end up sprinkling baby powder everywhere to find it.

thanks!! i mean its prolly an easy fix. just wanted a quick answer if someone had this problem. i donthave much time latelty to fix stuff so i thought maybe someone could give me a quick fix. ill have to wash the mud off and find it lol thanks

 

rpaske- Some of the '03 had problems with the water pump seeping antifreeze. I think it was coming out the small seep hole. Honda has stood behind many of these repairs even though they were out of warranty. They now have a new design water pump. Check with a dealer and ask for help with it.
