I noticed over the past few days the smell of coolant during cold weather cold engine start up on my wife's 99 Explorer Sport 4.0 SOHC w/90K miles. Today there was a small wet spot on the ground under the front cross member where it appeared to be dripping from. I noticed once before a week or so ago & put a pressure tester on the cooling system the next day but no leaks showed up. I have read here about the upper thermostat housing leak on the 4.0 SOHC which is why I tried the cooling system pressure test. I guess I will have to look on top of the engine on the next cold start up for any leak, unless any one has any idea's.
