Heh. All my Hemi Rams have had this issue. My work truck has 156,000 on it, and it smells every darned time.
Yet it never seems to use any coolant. *shrug*

Live and let live?

ive said it before. a few drops likely will never hit the ground and may be darn near impossible to see with all the crap in the engine bay. that was my situtation but eventually i found the leek. ive owned alot of vehicles but never has the smell permeated through hoses

I dont think the odor is radiating through the hoses. If it were that, it would smell all the time, no? My truck doesn't...its just every now and then, with no real rhyme or reason that I have noticed yet.

But, even if it was a extremely slow leak (which is my hunch), it would seem that it would stink all the time too, no?

Weird for sure.
