Antifreeze smell? Best detection method!

[Reign]

For years I hear everyone claiming they smell antifreeze , yet we can never find the leak. I used gunk foaming engine degreaser and never washed it off. 2 weeks later I look and you can see where it leaked , the dye in the antifreeze contrasted with the dry engine degreaser.

That sucks. At least a radiator is pretty easy to R&R.
