Well as the subject states I'm burning and stinking (antifreeze)...although not overheating (unless it runs low on coolant). It only smokes after driving it and coming to a stop. Smoke will billow out from under the hood. I thought it might be the freeze plugs, but I looked at them and didn't see anything (other than a little corosion on an old egine 137K) I can't find a visual leak anywhere (all the hoses from/to the radiator/engine are good. Checked around the Water Pump and see nothing. Also nothing in the oil pan, so it doesn't appear to be a head gasket.
Last night I just let it idle in the garage (door open so I don't die) and it never smoked....only does it when I drive it, and then only when I am stopped.
Any thoughts...or anyway to tell if it is the freeze plugs with out pulling them.
Thanks
