The pump was replaced asap and now when i drive smoke that smells like burn maple/tuna comes from my air vents and my windows are fogging up from the inside. Its more greasy then foggy. I know that any leftover debris/oil on the engine could have burnt when the engine over heated which could cause the smell. But i'm concerned about how long its been since the engine overheated. Could it possibly be my heater core? If not is there anything i can do to get rid of this smog? it's giving me the worst migraines! lol (the engine is a 6cyl, and my millage is around 130000) Loren Champlain Sr Veteran / Moderator Nov 17, 2009, 6:24 PM Post #2 of 4 (1493 views) Re: 2000 Dodge Dakota Engine overheat Sign In groovygurl; I'm afraid that the heater core is leaking. That would explain the 'sweet' maple smell and the fogging of the windshield.

Does anyone know how much this procedure would cost?

The heater core, itself, is about $70.
