Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

12 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I can smell antifreeze when I bring the car back in the garage...is that normal? None of my other vehicle exhibit this smell. It is usually faint and outside the car. Many Thanks.

POST 2Original post

You could have a slight leak, I'd suggest you check it out before it gets bad and leave you stranded somewhere at the most inconvenient time. Don't ask me how I know.

POST 3Original post

Check hoses first, but also inspect your coolant tank. Many on this site have had cracks in the tank OR a bad coolant cap. A new cap from the dealer cost me under $20.

POST 4Original post

Common problem. Try a search on either "coolant" or "tank" and you'll get a morning's worth of reading.

POST 5Original post

I agree w/Tim. Anywhere from hoses to coolant tank to coolant tank cap to water pump. All are fairly common. Ask me how I know...

POST 6Original post

you have a new engine right? Its possible that when they topped your car off they spilled some on your engine and is now burning off. They take awhile before they dry up, maybe up to 2 weeks...
