2016 AMG GTS Edition 1 -2014 R8 & H2
Smelling antifreeze every time i drive
Has anyone ever noticed the antifreeze scent after you've driven your GTS and shut her down? i only have 1500 miles on the car but wondered if this was normal? i'm not near a dealership so wanted to ask here first before i take it in...thanks in Advance.

can anyone look under the lid of your GTS at the two coolant tanks that are filled with the pink fluid and tell me if the smaller one on the left is below the hose entrance level? approx 2.5 inch from top? It seems like this should be filled to the top and if it should be, then i know i must have a leak somewhere....which would explain the smell.

I get a very strong oil smell particularly noticeable coming from the side vents on the front driver side.
Been at dealer multiple times, they can not find the source.

Same problem as noted. 10/2015 build date, 1300 miles, oil tank and four hoses to/from engine to tank changed out and still the smell is so overwhelming that have to leave the garage doors open. MB says it does not fit the buy back criteria. $133,000 car, best trade offer $107,000.00. This car has had the problem from day one went I brought it home.

Doesn't meet buyback criteria? I'd be getting legal representation

That is the level mine is at and has been since May 2015. You do not have a leak.

Mine is at the same level as yours.
It shouldn't be all the way to the top. There needs to be a little space for fluid to flow back into the tank for boiling/overheating.
