I'm definately burning some coolant. White smoke that smells sweet when i first start up the car in the morning. Is there any cure other than a new engine? or a rebuild?

 

If you search for block weld you should be able to get the whole story on the fix. It seems to work really well for some people.

 

Well, there is no "cure" but K&W Block seal could hold off the inevitable for a while, few months, year, depending on how bad the water seal is. Go to your local auto parts store and looks for it, it come in a like 8oz can, make sure to get the K&W, no other brand. Follow the directions EXACTLY. You will have to drain your cooling system, flush with water, run the block seal , then let sit for 24Hrs with the system drained. The Block seal will seal up any places where coolant is leaking in the system. Its worth a shot, may help you keep it on the road for a little while longer.

 

thanks for the quick replies!
