sweet anti freeze smell

I am experiencing a sweet anti freeze smell upon the shut down of the RDX -- I do not see any leaks and my engine temp is normal. any ideas? My car has 13,000miles. I do live in MN and it has been cold but this is weird to me.

Since your RDX is still under warranty, I would take it to your dealer and have them check it out. It couldn't hurt. Good luck.

scottRDX,

I tried to pm you but you're not able to receive. So I'll ask here. Please pardon the "off thread" question.

I noticed on your avatar that your grill is color matched to your paint. Is that real or p-shop. If real, maybe you could post some pix. I'm sure others would be interested in seeing it also. Looks good in the avatar.

JMJ3rd,

Actually, It's just the lighting in the pic. My grill is stock from the factory. Being that my car is silver, the grill is almost the same color as the paint. I actually like the bigger contrast in the darker colored RDX's.

Dealer is taking care of it --

I guess there was a tool left by a tech on a previous repair that has rubbed a small hole in the radiator. New radiator on its way
