My car starts up with a little smoke, but after about 5 minutes it goes away. Though there isn't any smoke it smells extremely sweet and its DEADTHLY toxic. What should I look into?

pressure test the cooling system or do the regular coolant seal tests.

It could be a coolant leak that gets sealed up when the metals warm up. It might be time for a rebuild.

If it is really sweet then that sounds like burning coolant to me... Take the advice listed above and search on here for cooling system tests (pressure test and "champagne" test).

Does the car burn coolant? Do you have to top off the coolant often? When you remove the cap on the ast or water pump fill housing is there floating oil?

I appreciate all the help, and didn't mean to sleep on the suggestions but I've been sick in bed.

I did the champagne test, and the car didn't bubble at all. I tried to unscrew the AST cap, and found out that the cap is stuck. (I have the petit replacement). To clarify I never had to add any coolant and it hasn't been short of any if I was burning it.

Try popping your hood when you are cold starting and see if there is any sign of burned coolant smoke coming from the engine bay while it is getting warmed up. Most likely you got a tiny leak somewhere from an old coolant hose by the radiator, turbo or behind the manifold.

Yeah does not look like a bad coolant oring. If that was the case it would pressurize the system when you revved it and coolant probably would have come up out of the filler neck.

Check the coolant lines near the turbos, they are notorious for beginning to leak.
