Any Acura mechanics here?

[Leah]

I *might* have a leak and it *might* be coolant, but I'm not sure. I don't want to pay $100 for the stealership to put it up on the lift and tell me 'yes' or 'no'. Anyone local that could tell me if it's something to be concerned about? It's an 07 TL.

TIA

Does it smell sweet?

Does it smell sweet?

Chili saw it in the garage and he said it was kind of slippery, moreso than condensation or water, but couldn't tell if it had a smell to it. I felt it in the driveway yesterday, but it didn't have the slippery feel or any smell to it.

We checked the coolant level yesterday and it was almost completely empty, though, that is what worries me.

I've been drinking coolant for months, other than some blood in the stool everything seems fine.

Get some coolant dye and fill it back up and hit with a UV light. I can bring a UV light home if you dont have one. And the dye you can get at O'reillys.

Blot some up with a clean white paper towel. Then report what color it is as well as the location af the drip.

Last time I used the antifreeze for a marinade, I got a case of the Bell's palsy.
