Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Continual odd odor entering cabin of car. it smells sweet like maple syrup. it occurs when i use heater and odor is emitted through vents. i believe it is anti-freeze that has leaked, i am smelling anti-freeze and i'm concerned for my health. i have read numerous complaints in mitsubishi diamante online forums about this problem. there is a huge number of heater core hose o-ring gasket failures causing leaks near heater core. apparently it also drips onto computer control unit also. *jb
