coolant smell coming from engine bay
Hey guys,
Buying my C32 earlier this year I'm still a noob to MB. I haven't had any problems with my car other that bad seat modules causing S/C shut off, but recently I've been smelling a sweet coolant smell coming from my engine when the car is running.
I've looked for obvious leaks from the hoses, I/C pump, radiator, water pump, but I couldn't find anything noticable. I did put coolant in it about a month ago but it hasn't gone down since then. Also the car runs ok but I there is a noticeable rumble coming from the exhaust that wasn't there before
.
From the experienced C32 owners has anyone had coolant issues? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again
Jorge

No, no smoke coming from the back. That's what I was thinking might be the next thing I would check. Does it sit right under the S/C and what would be easiest way to check it?

Jack the vehicle up, and take off the under-body front skid plate. You will be able to see everything looking under the vehicle. Also look for fluid on the top side of the skid plate.
