I smell antifreeze.

Hey everyone. I was messing with my GSL-SE this weekend, and I was trying to find an exhaust leak that I can hear when I'm driving. When I got to the catalytic converter, I disconnected the split air pipe that connects to it and it looked kind of moist there and it had a strong antifreeze smell to it. I feel this is a very bad thing, however, the car runs fine and my antifreeze level is full. Can antifreeze get into the exhaust somehow? How concerned should I be? 155k miles on the car and I need to drive it 170 miles monday through friday. thanks.
Matt

Not Good. Usually means a coolant Leak INTO the Rotor Chamber. Start saving for a rebuild or a swap.
