Default Coolant leak cause running rich?

I just found a small crack in my radiator housing where the coolant was spewing out of the crack when the car got hot and so i think that is why the car is running rich....could that be the cause of the smelly exhaust and lack of power at high speeds?


just got new walpro pump put in and now exhause smells really bad and has occasional starting problems.

could this coolant issue be causing the car to run rich?

Ya if the coolant sensor has no coolant around it it is running the car in open loop.
