Coolant smell
Wednesday, September 21, 2005 12:10 PM
Well, my car is getting up there in miles now (98K) and when I really get on it, the car kinda smeels like burning antifreeze. I had my hoses replaced no more than a couple of moths ago, could this be the culpret? Any insight is appreciated. Thank you.

I would just look at all your hose connections to see if anything is leaking.. I had the same problem like 2 months ago. Kept smelling coolant, come to find out it was leaking out of my resouvior thingie because the thermostat kept getting stuck. Changed the thermostat, no more problems.
