Coolant smell ?

Lately when I ride my "03" RX-1, I notice the smell of coolant. The coolant tank has not dropped level and I cannot see any signs of leakage (on the sled or in the snow. Any thoughts?
 

Does the smell seem like it's in the exhaust? If it's coming from there you won't find any leaks. You need to watch your coolant level VERY closely, and hope it's not the head gasket leaking.

BTW, are you riding with other sleds when you notice this? Maybe it's one of your buddies burning anti-freeze? :?:
 
Probably your overflow vent line spewing coolant onto a hot surface somewhere. I had it too. Nothing to worry about if thats the case. Try re-routing your vent line.
