Thanks, again I can't say enough about this site. If I understand you correctly it sounds like your smell can be notice insde the vehicle. If you sit inside my X and don't look in the mirrors my truck seems fine (until lately) very slight miss that seems to clear up in a about a minute after running. I drove a Tractor & Trailer for a number of years and you're train to look in the mirrors, that's how I notice the "hint" of blue smoke. After that I would get out to see just how much smoke and detected the antifreeze smell (from the exhaust only).

I'm still holding out for a cure, not looking foward to doing a head gasket.
