every now than then when i open the hood i can get a sniff of it, but nothing like a blown hg, or cracked head. more pronounced on e85 than pump gas though. which i find really odd. i know from the added cylinder pressure from the timing map change and fuel change it could present an issue, but no where near enough to lift the heads or narf the hg. it might be about 415-420whp at best on e, which to me is no where near the limit.

Mine had a bad casting on the water pump. I think the pump was changed at 6K miles. Could only smell coolant on a hot day. How much coolant do you have to add ?

i'll just make a phone call and see what can be done. id prefer not to take it in for warranty crap, but it's nearing the 3/4 mark of it's powertrain and has been notated about the coolant use since the first oil change.
