You have a leaking heater core. You might smell antifreeze if you turn on the defroster.
All the time
It stops your car from freezing and not starting up in cold weather
antifreeze keeps your car from overheating, it flows thru your radiator hose, without it your motor would blow
If you have water instead of antifreeze in your cooling system, it will freeze! You won't be able to start the car, because the engine is connected to the water pump (which won't be able to move). If you have nothing in your cooling system (no water, no antifreeze, nothing else), then you need your head checked. Your car won't start either.
Bad or clogged heater core. Backflush it.
Antifreeze is water soluble. You can use water to rinse the anti-freeze out of the carpeting provided you remove the carpeting from the car first. You don't want to put water on the carpet on the car while it is in the car because water will cause the floor to rust and holes in the floor are bad. The antifreeze, left in place, will not cause this problem. Note that wet carpet must be allowed to fully dry before being put back in place. This can take a few days.
The type of car antifreeze that is safest to the environment is propylene glycol antifreeze. While it is still not totally safe, it is less toxic than other antifreeze.
no but antifreeze in oil will eat the bearings
My dad puts antifreeze on his car.
We always renew the antifreeze in our car before winter.
Usually, you'll get antifreeze on your passenger floor, steam out the defrost and / or have a very noticeable sweet coolant smell in the car. The heat won't work well and the car will overheat.
the antifreeze runs through all your water lines in your car . . . . you put it in your water tank or radiator
yes. if it is icy.

Yes, all antifreeze is basically the same.
