My 2003 Nissan Xterra has a small coolant leak. I'm not sure where the leak is coming from. The car drives fine. When I open the hood after driving the car, I can smell something sweet like maple syrup. I'm assuming that's the coolant that has leaked. Any idea where the leak is coming from? Any idea how much it will cost to repair?

Hi there,

The first thing to do is go get a cooling system pressure test done, this will help locate and external coolant leaks, until the location is known we cant make an estimate on the cost.
