Ok guys, it didnt smell like this until i got my new BB hood on. EVerytime my engine begins to warm up, i can smell this sweet smell coming from the engine, i know its probably radiator fluid, but im not sure. The smell goes away the second i flip the switch for the fans. is this normal or what?

 

haha.. ah yes, the sweet smell... i know that well from my ranger :P
its not going away, the fan is just dispersing the fumes, heh
your leaking somewhere

 

i was smelling that for awhile, then one day i pulled up the passenger side floormat and found the coolant puddle.

 

nope no leaks under the car, also the radiator doesnt want to seem to fill into the tank/bottel next to it

 

could be the fiberglass from the hood?
mine smelt kinda funny for a week or so?
is it painted?

 

no its not painted. its since seemed to go away.? dont ask

 

its the smell of new fiberglass when your motor gets warm. it wears off just like new car smell.
