    so i have a 02 grand prix gtp bone stock with like 91k miles on it i have noticed the past month a little sweet smell that i didnt think much of them just the past week my car would have a terrible sweet coolant burning smell when i would stop and sit somewhere like in a drive thru or something also i would notice the temp gauge go up about 30 degrees above the normal operating temp. was going to change the thermostat and when i pulled the plastic cover off over the engine i noticed the 3 front injectors were each sitting in a pool of coolant and there was a big pool in one of the intake manifold gaps. i dont know if it is leaking from the manifold gasket or maybe the valve cover gasket

    Intake gaskets.

    I would replace them ASAP before it costs you a motor.
