i always smell antifreeze after i've been driving, but i don't have a leak. have you ever leaked antifreeze before?

[newhorizons]

the insp shop just tried to sell me a intake gasket job.?

How often do you need to top ff the coolant?

[newhorizons]

havn't had to really.just a little smell every once in awhile. only drove the thing about 3k this year so mebbe i'll trade it off before it gets bad.

LIMG is my guess as well, assuming that it hasn't been done yet. Mileage is about right for it.

[Nate's Alero]

Don't trade it, the car is known for the limg, but if you aren't loosing coolnant, don't worry about it

[jayson_waltz]

LIMG most likely, but if not maybe water pump?

[newhorizons]

[newhorizons]
