Possible coolant leak

[drpaul87]

Went to change my oil, and smelled antifreeze. I CANNOT find a leak anywhere. Is this a common thing (1997 Isuzu Rodeo, new to me) with the Rodeo? Any thoughts where to look? I don't see a leak anywhere, or drips on the ground. Bars leak a good choice? Thanks to any and all that may help

Hi,
I have a similar problem. I believe it come from the back of the motor somewhere and drips onto the exhaust, hence the smell. Had mine pressure tested, but still have not located. Have also tried stpo leak without success.........when you find out, lete me know please.

there are two pipes under the intake they each have an o-ring on one end they dry rot and start leaking over the years espically if somone has recently been around them (have your valve cover gaskets recently been replaced)
