2014 C230 bulbs and coolant problems

Hi Everyone,
Have a 2014 C250 sport sedan 11,000 miles.

When i get out i occasionally smell coolant. cant see any leaks. any ideas?

Also just got two messages. One for drivers side rear blinker and one for drivers side brake light, but both work. Any ideas.

I suppose I could just take it in.

Thanks,
Terry

I had a mystery message on a rear light that seemed to be working fine. I pulled the bulbs, wiped off the bases and reinstalled to clear the message. On the anti freeze odor, I might pop the hood and see if the odor is any stronger there. (Or any signs of dripping) Check the coolant level and keep an eye on the temp gauge in the meantime. Mine is usually a notch or 2 above the 80 cent. reading.

Yes I will pull the bulbs and check bases etc.

Yeah for the coolant i will look harder and check coolant level. I runs above the 80, maybe 84 ish. Sometimes it seems to fluctuate a little.
