2002 ls1 coolant odor Wasn't sure where to post this on the forum, so I am posting here.
About a month ago I started noticing the distinct odor of coolant. It wasn't often and nothing visible. Well, one afternoon after sitting in the traffic I parked my car and noticed the overflow of coolant dripping from the left handside of my car, just under the radiator. I popped the hood and noticed that it was coming from the overflow hose that comes out from under the cap. I allowed the car to cool, checked the level and it was fine/full, however I noticed flakes in the coolant, so I had the system flushed the next day. I still noticed the smell and it has been a couple of weeks. The coolant level is still the same and the temp doesn't go above 210 at the hottest.
Any ideas?

Well, it was getting bad this morning so I had a shop look at it. I couldn't get the time right away, because I am getting ready to deploy and it turned out to be the water pump was leaking by. That hit the wallet pretty good.
