yea you have a leak somewhere, as he said check the lower corner on the driver side, that is where mine cracked. i could smell it but could not see it until i took mine on a 730 mile one day trip with a trailer and that was enough for me to see the coolent the next morning.

the radiator is only covered for the 3year/36k whichever comes first. i was lucky that my dealer helped me out and was able to get Ford cover all parts and i paid the 300 or so for labor i was around 38 or 39k at the time. i will go out on a limb and say if you are smelling it there is definitely a leak somewhere. i will be giving it one more time then i will look into aftermarket system.<O

Just checked mine out after looking under the hood and seeing that my coolant is below the COLD Coolant fill line. Mine looks fine, but I will ask about it when I go in for my free first oil change.

I should check mine for leaks. I'll be brining it into my bay tomorrow anyway so a good thing to look at.
