NateYaro Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Hey everyone, I bought a 2005 OBXT with around 120k on it a couple weeks ago from a dealer and I've been driving it around with no problems. I recently started noticing a slight antifreeze smell when I'd get out of my car, I thought it was someone else's car, but its seemed to get a bit stronger. I'm thinking I need to take it in and get it checked out before anything goes wrong. I live in Seattle Washington and would love any suggestions you may have for a place. If you have any idea what the smell might be, I'm open to looking into it myself as well. It only happens when the car is warmed up. Sometimes its after a short distance (driving for around 15 minutes or so) I've checked the fluid levels, and everything seems ok, so it is most likely a small leak, but I want to be safe. I just want this thing to last and want to make sure that nothing goes wrong with it. Thanks for the help and advice in advance! -Nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NateYaro Posted April 8, 2013 Author Share Posted April 8, 2013 Dealer should cover it under the 30 day warranty ??? I tried that, but the dealer isn't stepping up to the plate. Its a bit frustrating. I'm taking it into R&H Garage today. We'll see what they say. Thanks guys! -Nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NateYaro Posted April 10, 2013 Author Share Posted April 10, 2013 I took it to the R&H garage, they took care of it. It was a small leak in the lower turbo hose. They guys were nice and knew what they were talking about. Thanks for the help everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
