Been noticing the smell of antifreeze after I drive around a bit. Any ideas on what it could be? Thanks

Leaky heater core.

If you only smell it inside the TJ, then I would look to the heater core. If you smell it in the engine bay, then get a bright flashlight and start looking for any sign of coolant. Coolant coming out the weep holes on the waterpump are a warning sign that it is about to fail.

Thanks. So if I drive without the heat on, I should not smell it correct?

Not correct. Coolant flows to the heater core regardless.

Dextreme - thanks. No smell inside, just outside. I will check around the waterpump.
