Message	I had leaks from the heater core hoese and the upper and lower raidator hoses. All Z1 silicone hoses. It was installation error as I was gentle on the clamps. This time I cranked down with no mercy. Leaks are gone now. However, I drove it to work this morning and when I parked I opened the hood and noticed the coolant smell right at the spot you are describing. It is pretty strong. The hoses however are dry and do not seem to be "sweating".

Probes suck, that's just all there is to it. - 300ZXpert (someday) on April 04, 2005 at 11:35 PM P.S. You REALLY are on here at ALL hours!
