Slight chlorine smell

[Fishtaco]

When putting the heater on with blower! I don't actually use the heater in OZ but testing it this week I am getting a chlorine type smell when I switch it on at running temp. Is this a coolant leak?

Cheers

Any time I have had a heater core leaking, it had an antifreeze smell to it, never chlorine smell. But you are down under, maybe coolant smells different upside-down?????

Are you running chlorinated water as coolant? (no antifreeze)

My coolant has no smell and its not a coolant boil/steam smell, maybe its a refrigerant smell?

Coolant but it has no distinct smell to it
