Coolant smells like fuel
Hi,
i have air in my cooling system. Out of the hose, that goes into the coolant reservoir, comes gas which smells like fuel.
Is it a blown o-ring inside the engine or could it be another thing, too? I have allready changed the cap of the radiator.
Any ideas?
Thx,
Daniel

welll..... pull the radiator cap off, remove the egi fuse and crank the engine over watching the radator neck, if water boils out than you have a blown coolant seal in the engine. does the engine over heat, this would be a sign of a blowng coolant seal too.
