Unusal Sweet smell

Coolant is usually lime green and smells very sweet smelling. If you notice a sweet smell inside your car cabin, there may be a coolant leak. In some cases, the coolant leak will be visible underneath the front of your vehicle.

External Coolant Leaks:

• Over time, Radiator hoses wear out, leading to small holes or tears.

• The points where hoses connect to the engine or radiator can weaken, leading to leaks.

• The coolant reservoir can crack or get damaged, causing leaks.

• Not having enough coolant fluid in the system can cause the engine to overheat, leading to increased pressure and leaks.

Internal Coolant Leaks:

• A blown head gasket is a major issue and can lead to coolant mixing with oil in the engine.

• Over time, radiators can corrode, leading to leaks.

• If the radiator cap doesn't hold pressure, from being faulty or deteriorated, it can cause leaks.

• Water Pump Seal can fail, leading to a leak.

• Cracks or damage in the Expansion Tank can lead to leaks.

The biggest immediate risk is engine overheating. Coolant keeps your engine from getting too hot. If it leaks out, the engine can overheat, leading to even most costly damage.
