Thread: coolant smell

I have the same exact problem on mine but its coming from the driver side without smoke though. I just did a bunch of mods to my engine so maybe I didn't reattach a hose tight enough or would it be a different story because its on the other side of the engine?

Wow what an old thread dude. lol. But check where ur thermotat housing is. Did u bleed the system? might have a leak at the hose to the bottom on the PCM side.

I don't think its that, the car is not running hot at all and so far I don't think its leaking any anti freeze. I'm gonna let the car sit a little bit and see if it drips but I did just replace the pcm and the tstat but like I said the car is not running hot or leaking so far its just smells like anti freeze is burning on the driver side.

Are u positive its not leaking at the thermostat housing? Did u replace the o-ring and gasket it for it? u might not notice it as it could be slowly leaking under the LIM where it sits on top of the block. Take a little hand held mirror if u have one and look directly under the crossover.

Let me know so i can help u as much as i can.
