Sunday on my way back home I smelled coolant, I stop immediately and checked it out to find a puddle under the car. Coolant was leaking. I called for tow truck and tow car to auto shop. The next day I found that the engine block was cracked and this why coolant leaks.... many people had the same casting problem with these engine blocks.
