    AntiFreeze smell coming from the drivers side ?!!

    Just picked up a 5.0 R Spec last week - There's a smell of antiFreeze coming from the drivers side front - near the door. Brought the car into the shop today. The tech said it was the catalytic converter / and or exhaust manifold making the smell - and it would go away in 2-3000 miles...

    Fuel Smell (odor)

    I have noticed a strong odor of fuel when I drive my vehicle for an extended amount of time, for example 2-3 hours of running around town. I live in Vegas, temps are 100 degrees. When I come home and park it in the garage, in a minute or two there is this strong smell of fuel, like fuel is on...
