antifreeze smell
My c5 is getting an antifreeze smell when I'm driving and the temp gets between 220-230 and then dips slightly under 220 when the fans kick on it have checked under the car and there seems to be no leaks but it's a strong smell that comes from it when you drive.any suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated thanks

Coolant tank leaking? It just starts as a little around the connections and vanishes underneath the tank or evaporates. Don't bother trying to fix the tank just buy a new one. They are cheap (comparatively).

Try this - take a drive after dark for about 2 miles. Bring it home and leave the engine running; pop the hood and get a flash light and start looking for drips, or steam, etc.
