Could be a coolant or power steering fluid leak or something, but seriously, stop driving it around and get it to a mechanic

mate just take it to a workshop ASAP!! there is no way that posting on a forum will anyone here be able to tell you what your problem is...but if you can smell coolant then get it fixed soon as you can or there will be bigger problems !!
