my car has been overheating...i can smell coolant but i can't see it leaking anywhere...no spot underneath the car, none on passenger side floor board...none leaking inside the engine bay...hmmm...anyone know where it could be??? everytime i make the trip from home to work on the interstate it's fine but when i sit at work and let it idle it starts to creep up...i refill with a 50/50 mix and by the time i get home it does it again...it's about a 40min drive from my house to my job...can anyone help on this??? later.

headgasket

 

definetly the head gasket

 

That was my first thought...if you can smell it, but does not apppear to be leaking that means it's burning somewhere and the only place it could be burning is on the head...so headgasket it is.

 

damn...it's brand new, it's the inline pro unit...which REALLY sucks since it cost mad loot...im gonna try and torque the head down tighter...

 

wouldn't a blown headgasket lower my compression in each cylinder??? and isn't there a test like taking the radiator cap off starting the car and if it bubbles then it's the headgasket gone bad??? it's too cold to try it tonite...i'll do it tomorrow...
