Re: Ranger Coolant Smell

Do you have any white smoke coming out of the tailpipe? I had a olds 88 that was leaking coolant into the engine.

Best Regards,
Stan

Also, I notice a coolant smell outside the truck, but I can't see any leaks and there are no puddles on the ground. I have to add coolant about once a month. After I add the coolant, this problem doesn't happen and the smell goes away. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
