I smell antifreeze!!! After I drive the car, I can always smell a hint a antifreeze. My low coolant warning came so I put some in but I cant see were its leaking. No pools or dribbles. Does anybody know of a problem that’s common on these cars. The car is an 04 LS6 CTS-V with 37000 miles. I'm going to take it in but I would like to see the leak for myself so I know its fixed when I drive it home. I also have a light ticking. Almost sound like fuel injectors but don’t know. Gets louder when its revved up. Both of these problems I noticed after I bought the car from the dealership and have been going on for the 1 week I have had it. Any help would be appreciated!

Have your dealer pull this TSB, once done, you should get a new radiator:

Actually, Reed's site is most awesome, I just happen to know about it.
Take a few minutes to view all of the bulletins, you never know what you can fixed/replaced for free. Good luck with the dealership...

I have actually been there and looked at a few but it didnt even dawn on me that they made TSB about the problem. I found an airbag recall and I also found a TSB to put harder bushings in the rear end cradle to help prevent wheel hop but its only installed upon owners request. Well looks like Im getting a new radiator and some bushings and some airbag sensor parts!!!! Not to mention a few other little things that need fixin' before the warrenty is up! Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction!!!
