Alright, so i just bought a 86 240DL sedan and within a week of having it i sort of went over a curb. I thought nothing of it at first, but then when i was parked the next day i saw a big drip stain under the car. It doesnt drip very fast, or much at all when the car is off, but once i get her warmed up it drips pretty damn fast. It looks to be antifreeze and the smoke smells sweet and surrounds these two hoses to the front/right of the oil pan. Any clues as to whats going on and or how much work this would be for an amateur. If not, how much do you think a mechanic would charge?
