So I've been smelling anti-freeze after driving home from work everynight and noticed about a month ago the expansion tank was about 2" low. I thought it was no big deal so I topped it off. Just changed the oil recently and all was good. No eveidence of anything going on internally, just dark oil as normal. This morning I went to back the ex out of the garage and there was a puddle of antifreeze by the tailpipe. I looked underneath and you could still see evidence of a drip! What's going on?! I only assume the worst since that's an odd path for antifreeze to go, but it's still bright green. Could it be as simple as a gasket or as bad as a cracked head? I'm really worried about this, can some one offer up some real world advice or similar experience? I appreciate the help!
ps.. seems to run fine except at idle after being warmed up, then it stumbles.
