HEllo guys,

My car starts to smell once i step on it.
I checked my coolant reseviour and notice it was a bit low.

Im trying to top it off, but i am curious as to what type of coolant should i use?
Is it okay to mix?or do i need to flush it out?

My car has 25k on it. please advice,
THank you all

Have a dealer check it out. You have a leak.

i have taken it to the dealer, because i was concerned about the engine smell..
They said its natural heat motor, however they did not inspect it...

I dont think i have a leak as where i park there is no signs of leakage. I was in a front end collision about 2 years ago,.

Maybe i lost some anticoolant and it never got topped off.
