Antifreeze smell & slow starting.

[gingerbredman00]

Ok this is my first post.
I'v had my explorer for about two years, just recently i'v smelled antifreze after I get done driving.
the smell is really faint, and only outside the vehicle.
It does not everheat, and has plenty of power.
Everyonce in a while it will take about 4-5 seconds to start, instead of as soon as I turn the ignition.
ANY ideas or thoughts will be awesome. thank you in advance!!

Welcome to this forum! I've moved your thread into the stock 95-01 section. Get a cooling system pressure tester from Autozone's tool loaning program, and see where the leak is coming from. It might be a very small leak, but just enough to cause problems.

Sorry about it being in the wrong section, my DSM forum makes you only post in the newbie section when you are new to the site.
There are no leaks, everything is completely dry, and it doesn't even get to the middle on the temp gauge.
If it were a leak, that would be no problem, and I could fix it.
But that's the weird part. Everything checks out fine. I smell antifreze after I park.

A pressure tester will pump up the cooling system with about 15 pounds of pressure. This is enough pressure to help you locate even a pin hole leak.
