hey guys , quick question, lately, actually about 6 months now , I have been smelling coolant when i get out of my car, I've checked levels, and looked all over, But no leaks found. Took to dealership(still under warranty) of course they found nothing, Im due for my 40,000 mile maint. and will be doing all the filter changes myself, however Im going to take to a local guru to complete the rest of maint. I dont know how to do. Do any of you guys have any idea why i would be smelling coolant? I've noticed some condensation in the coolant bottle.
Thanks in advance:)

Go to radiator shop & have cooling system pressurized. If there are any leaks then pressure will drop. Could be defective coolant bottle cap or a small crack in the coolant system.
