Coolant smell in cabin!

[valhalla]

Does anyone else get the smell of antifreeze in the car when the engine is up to temperature and stationary
We mainly notice the smell when the fans cut in.
I think i must have a leak, because i have to 'top up' with water most weekends with aprox 1/2 ltr.I have checked all the hose clips (that i can reach!)
is this a common niggle??

Look in the air ducts for a rad leak, and go over your hose clips, and make sure they're all tight

Thanks for that mad-dot, i have checked out hose clips in every nook and crany. I was just a tad alarmed when i removed the inspection panel under the nose to have three jubilee clips fall out!!!
At the moment its going to be "suck it and see" as at the weekend we all go off to Kent for the multi region meet,so its fingers crossed,just incase i have made it worse.
Thanks again ...Dave

Just got The T350C back from Castle, and they have solved the problem of the coolant smell in the cabin!!
The Rad had a hole in it and was replaced....End of problem.(i hope!!)
