Honda of America is now involved, so i'm sure this will be taken care of very shortly

finally was able to meet in person with the rep yesterday afternoon

he said he does smell the antifreeze, and compared it to another TL which didn't smell


they are now in the process of contacting the higher techs from Honda to figure out the actual issue.

it's not something that simple or obvious. there is NO leak at all, which is why honda of america had to get involved.

Hey RBF, did the dealer ever find out what was causing that ant-freze smell? I'm getting the the very same smell. And just like in your case it is stronger near the front of the car. The top of the radiator always smell. Could it be a bad radiator cap that can't hold the correct pressure? Hmmm...
