leaking coolant
the coolant level in my overflow bottle is constantly slowly going down, and after driving i smell coolant burning. there is no puddle of where it is leaking from, and the oil is not milky. I recently replaced the t stat and housing, but it is not leaking from there so idk. any ideas?

It's a 3.0L nightmare common problem/issue.
The main front gasket leaks and the coolant will leak out slowly and usually end up leaking down onto the steering rack or down the lower rad hose.
Mine has had a slow leak for several years now, it's a PITA to change the seal. The entire front side of the engine needs to come off. A few people have gotten it fixed at the dealership, and they've paid around $1800 to get it done. Mine leaks from the seal behind the water pump. I just top up my coolant every now and then as it's a slow leak and really only leaks as the engine is cooling down. It doesn't leak while running.
