[QUOTE="Stalker27, post: 10625626, member: 66269"] Yep smelled it last night in driverside tailpipe. Only reason i did i bent down to pull my car cover down over the bumper when i got a wiff of something that smelled like coolant. So once i regained my heart from my stomach i went inside & ate then came back out to car & had the gf start the car while i shined the flashlight by the tailpipes and no smoke. Idled car for 5min. While it was ideling i watch the coolant overflow tank and noticed i didn't have as much in there. Use to the coolant would sit where the rubber hose is beside the tank but as the coolant temp got hot it would rise to an inch below the "add coolant" line. Now it got two inches below that line then shut down. So now we have ruled out the intercooler possibly having a leak cause that fluid is sitting perfect I pulled the dipstick & found nothing but oil on it. I then pulled every spark plug out & didnt find any liquid on them. However i did notice that all the white porceleon was WHITE with no brownish tint on any of them so i guess i'm running lean. Also the threads had quite a bit of what seemed like ash or crud on the threads. I did put anti seize on the threads. The part that hangs over the electrode seems to have whiteish spots on every plug. Which is odd cause that should mean i'm running lean but my wideband shows 10.9 wot with a high of 11.1. Or is the whitesh spots the coolant being burned? I REALLY hope its a headgasket & not a crack in a cylinder. No smoke out exhaust Car still pulls like a beast Idles fine Doesn't over heat No coolant comming out the cap [/QUOTE]
