Chrysler Repair: 1999 Chrysler LHS Coolant Smell, 1999 chrysler lhs, chrysler lhs


Question
I was smelling coolant from my 99 LHS.  It seems to be coming from the very top of the engine (directly under the plastic engine cover) on the drivers side.  It is a very small amount, but it hits the hot engine and steams.  I have checked the coolant level and it is still at max, so very little is actually leaking.  Would this be a head gasket or possibly some other replaceable gasket?  Thank you!

Answer
Hi Brian,
Which size engine is it? Have you removed the cover to try and find the actual spot of leakage? The head gasket usually won't cause leaks above the gasket level so I doubt that is the source. Use the 'thank/rate' to let me know and we'll go from there, you won't have to wait for me to be 'available' to take a question that way. If you can pinpoint the source of the leak a little better I might be able to suggest a solution.
