go to the coolant flange, it is a piece on the drivers side of the engine where the green sensor plugs into. I had a coolant leak there and it turns out all i needed was the gasket but for 9 bucks i just replaced it all. They fail commonly.

I also had a coolant leak. Try the gasket like suggested, fixed my problem (versus a shop telling me it was $500 to fix).

how do you burn coolant ??? LOL sorry !!! Just like the other said, check for leaks. Try to clean the engine a little if its dirty and then you should be able to see where its coming from....with a little help from a flashlight.

Kind of late for you, maybe help for someone else...

You probably could have saved yourself some money if you went with a 400 series stainless rather than the 304.

409 is popular for exhausts, 304 looks prettier, (is a little more corrosion resistant), but the 409 stands up fine (its light coating of 'rust' is what protects it).

It's not leaking problem, I checked several times and shop checked 2-3times.
I mean I can smell the burning coolant every time....lol
dealer shop can't find the problem...
