V70XC Coolant smell

Post by oakview »

I have a coolant smell in my 1999 V70XC that I can't get rid of. It was very strong and I took it to the dealer. They replaced a leaking cap in the engine compartment and did a pressure test and pronounced it in perfect condition. The smell persisted. Another two test with same results. Smell is now less but still there...especially with heat on. It has been about 6 months since I replaced the leaking cap.

Any suggestions.
