Antifreeze Smell
Please tell me I don’t have a major problem. Only in morning during the first start I can smell antifreeze when my X is running. Once the motor gets hot the smell seems to go away. I just completed an engine and transmission oil change and did not see any antifreeze or moisture (this problem existed before this work). When I stand at the front for the vehicle I do not smell much it seems to come from the exhaust (ouch). Is this a common problem? Either way what could be the cause and / or fix?

I don't think this is a common problem. What I would do is have the cooling system pressure checked with the engine cold and hopefully you'll end up finding something minor like a coolant line leaking and creating a small puddle with evaporates as the engine warms up. Good luck
