went over an island due to some fuckwit & i dont know what this smell is coming from the engine. Anyone with any theories?

Tried putting some cardboard underneath it and checking it the following day for leaks?

Could be either

• Transmittion Fluid;
• Power Steering Fluid; or
• Oil

Does your air conditioner still work properly?

Coolant leak?

Nah i haven't. But i park in undercover across from work, there isnt any liquid under the car when i get out of the bay after work.. though, it might have dried up, dont know. should still leave a stain.

Actually GX-REX thanks for reminding me. I had a service at 70,000 and im at 72k now, had the coolant re-filled. I had a look at it yesterdya and it was rather low than normal. I've filled it back up so ill check tomorrow morning if it's drained out.

Sounds like it went hard over 'the island', if the light is loose, is the car fairly low?

My car has a pin hole in the radiator that occasionally sprays on the exhaust. Hardly uses any coolant but has a smell to it. Have a good look for signs of coolant leak. It can also leave a white powdery residue when it dries up.

I'll have to check it out in the morning.

Gets over speed bumps fine with no lip. Annoying with one. It's in the avatar. There's no way it would clear a curb front on without damaging the front end. and yeah it did hit fairly hard. Im just thankful there werent any poles between the lights and where i ended up.

it was here if this helps:

It could have just been the grass from the island cooking on your exhaust.
