    Hey Guys,

    Just bought a 3800 mile FF and upon my first drive, I noticed with the windows down that the car resonates a Coolant/AntiFreeze Smell. Put it on a lift, but didn't see coolant anywhere. I did however notice a small drop of oil on the back of the block, passenger side, close to the oil pump. Also small seepage coming from the Oil Filter itself.

    Any ideas on where to go from here? (besides the dealer) which I will be doing shortly. More interested if anyone else has had these issues.

    oil leak from the pump or filter might be simple fixes such as wrong torque used, or bad seals. Regarding the coolant, you should try and monitor the coolant level to make sure you are not losing any. It might just be that they spilled some during the last maintenance and it hasnt all dried up yet.
