I am getting a very faint anti-freez smell from under the hood(I can catch a whif when I walk past the grill), but I do not see anything out of place....on the ground....or any loss of coolant from the expansion tank?
I am due for my 30K service very soon(changing both air filters, plugs, LOF, and pads on all four), so if I dont find anything I will be sure to report it to the SR so I have paper work showing when the symptoms started.

but for now.....any ideas....I did check the dip stick and coolant thinking of a head gasket....but all is well?
