smell of burned coolent
So about 3weeks had the radiator replaced. Within these past 3 weeks I started to smell likecoolentthat was burning andhad to refill the coolent twice. I looked on the ground after driving and before driving and no puddles or obvious leaks I could notice. Any ideas? Thanks

Well, if its burning, it follows logically that its leaking on the exhaust. Check all around the engine for signs of orangy-red-looking stains to see if you can pinpoint where its coming from.
Also crank up the vehicle and see if you can locate any steam/smoke rising anywhere.
There is also the possibilty of an internal leak and the smell is coming out of the exhaust.
