Aloha,
Today I was driving and could smell antifreeze. Pulled over smelled like it was coming from my EB. Drove around more and noticed white smoke coming out of the A/C vent and it was smelling like antifreeze. Anyone know about this and how to fix?

That's usually a sign your heater core has sprung a leak :( . Get yourself a Chiltons, Haynes, or similar repair manual, and they have instructions on how to do it. It's actually not that hard a job.
 






Yeah,heater core. The good news is, it's a cheap part! I got mine for under $20. :) It took me half an hour to remove the PITA fasteners holding on the cover under the dash, but just 10 minutes to swap out the heater core itself.
