Smells like ...

[so 650]

... windshield washer fluid.

Whenever I accelerate hard, corner hard, brake hard, or otherwise hoon around, I smell windshield washer fluid. It's not that I mind the smell, but I can't help but wonder if something is amiss. The filler cap is secure, there's no evidence of sloshing that I can see ... mind you, I don't see where the actual reservoir tank is, just the filler at the top.

Please yell at me, and leave poor Don alone.

Ionizer system maybe.

It could just be dribbling a bit out of the nozzles, which are right where the air intake is for the cabin air...

Some of us dribble a bit more as we get older.

Is it minty? Because my windshield washer fluid smells minty whenever I use it, a minty smell wafts into the car.

Is now the wrong time to admit that I pranked you by pouring Scope into your washer fluid?

Does it happen if the HVAC is on recirculate?

Just "windexy".
But the cheap "Method" brand imitation windex I use to clean the glass is minty. I expect there's a range of products that might get filled in there ...

Ooh, good question. I guess I'll need to hoon to find out.

I may or may not know this from personal experience, but dropping the term "Throat Yogurt" during a traffic stop is not necessarily the Get Out Of Jail Free card you'd think it would be.
