It's been a beautiful fall and my XK8 has been especially good the last few months! Still a faint coolant smell but I'm used to it now! There's nothing like driving our cars in the fall in 70 degree weather no humidity, top down.
When they're good, they're good, when they're bad they're better, when they're very bad they're very expensive!! Lol

 

And spirited driving through fallen leaves makes the car look even better

Mind you, your car looks fantastic just stood still.

 

It has indeed been a gorgeous autumn here in North Carolina. We have taken several semi-spontaneous 200-mile joyrides with the top down to enjoy the cooler weather and the changing leaves during October. Autumn is by far the optimum ragtop season as far as I'm concerned....

 

You may want to find that FAINT smell of coolant. Don't want to find it in full BLOWN mode while driving down the HWY.

 

Believe me, we've done everything. New rad, hoses preasure test, and on multiple occasions. We can not find any more leaks. No coolant loss, no evidence on ground, or under car. At this point, it will just have to be there. Nothing left to check.

 

Heater matrix inside dash, that would give smell with very small leak!

 

mine had a very small leak at the rubber tube connection to the t stat from the overflow tank. took several pressure tests to find it.
