I seem to be slowly losing coolant, and I notice a burning smell after driving...smells like coolant
but no sign of dripping or leak....any thoughts? Coolant level was well above max and is now at min (took a year to get there, but I think it happened within the last few months)
Thanks!
Thanks!

As it got worse I did.
Originally, I only noticed the smell. If you look between the firewall and the back of your head, look for coolant leaking down the head onto the transmission. A flashlight and a small mirror will be helpful.

also check your radiator - just replaced mine
eventually had puddles but didn't for the longest time - leakage probably blew off while driving.
refilled coolant twice before i fixed it (would take maybe 2 months to drain)
