Found 2 small drops of bright orange coolant on my garage floor after driving it home from the dealer. 399 miles

Antifreeze .... not good!

I also had a leak. They said it was a bad fitting on the oil cooler. Never saw a drip, but could smell the antifreeze after the engine warmed up.

Jer4251 · 02-17-2013, 07:13 PM

i could smell it as well.

Jer4251 · 02-17-2013, 07:56 PM

my car doesnt have a belly pan but thanks for the info. I'll have to take it in and have them take care of it.

Jer4251 · 02-17-2013, 07:57 PM

Jer4251 · 02-17-2013, 08:01 PM

Jer4251 · 02-17-2013, 08:01 PM

DavidW · 02-17-2013, 08:01 PM

Jer4251 · 02-17-2013, 08:03 PM

Stephen12ZL1 · 02-17-2013, 08:13 PM
