My Dark Horse has given off a very faint odor of coolant from the exhaust since new. It has just over 900 miles on it now and still does it. There's no evidence of a leak under the car or in the engine compartment and the coolant level has remained consistent.

Any others with a similar issue? TIA

i just made this post essentially monday. Im in the same boat with my GT. Most start ups i smell cooland faintly but no white smoke and no active leaks that i can tell. My coolant was low but could have been that way until i saw it, so i topped it off and have been monitoring the level. I have 5500 miles on my car. As far as i know, nothing in the oil or leaking anywhere so i truly dont know whether its a a concern or not.

You should do an oil change at 1k miles and look for evidence of coolant in the oil, though i feel as if you wont see any but could give you peace of mind.

Good afternoon. Would you please send over a private message with your VIN and dealer info so I can look into this coolant smell concern on my end? Thank you!
