Just this past week, I started to notice a burning smell in my garage after I had driven the car. It's definitely coolant, but I can't tell exactly where it is coming from. I can see buildup (see pic, I believe the orange is the coolant) on the back lower engine bay on the passenger side. I thought maybe it was left over, but I cleaned it good, drove it the next day to work and of course it's back, and the smell. Any ideas where the leak could be coming from. Thanks for any suggestions.

STFA for coolant flange. That's your problem.

Is this an expensive fix or something that could be a DIY. I don't have a lift, only a jack, and I'm hesitant to get underneath these things. I guess back to the freaking repair shop for me

As soon as I think I've gotten everything up to date, bam, something else goes wrong

indy shop. Everything is done from the top of the engine bay, no need for lifting the car.
