So, I just drove from Ft. Worth to Albuquerque yesterday (~620 miles) without a hiccup. I get in my car today to run an errand and I notice smoke wafting from under my hood. It smelled like cinnamon and since my radiator has cracked on me before, I jumped out of my seat to have a look. The radiator looks fine - no spraying and no cracks from what I can tell, and I heard a sizzle right after I opened my hood, like a drop of liquid vaporizing on hot metal. Right now, I'm thinking that it's probably just a worn line leaking coolant onto my header, where it vaporizes, creating the slight smoke that I saw. However, the errand wasn't terribly important and it's way too cold here (22 deg F right now) to investigate further today.
Any other opinions? -------------------- taking too long to mod since '09
