Antifreeze smell and now antifreeze consumption
OK, this is worrysome.
My 2005 3.0d X5 has always smelled like antifreeze, at the exhaust. But until now, it had no antifreeze consumption. About a week ago, I noticed that the antifreeze level was low, so I added about half a litre. Yesterday, when I checked again, it was lowish (the top of the indicator was just below the hole top lip) so I added some more, the indicator almost lifted to its maximum height. This morning, the top of the indicator is again, near the top of the hole. I can't see any leak from the car, while it is standing.
Am I in for an expensive head gasket job?
Total mileage is about 200,000 km.
