Re: please help me diagnose this leak!
Is it coming from the bleeder valve or the 90* coolant hardline? Either way it is coolant coming out of the T-stat housing. Sweet scents from the engine bay or exhaust are almost always coolant if you want it fixed check the hoses for cracks and if its the housing replace it.
