Hey guys I have a 1995 Cobra and I've recently sprung a leak. I have a slow coolant leak needed coolant 3-4 days after fill. Not sure where its leaking at and I can't seem to pin point the leak by looking around. I can smell the coolant burning off so I assume its burning off the block/exhaust. I also pulled in the garage today and popped the hood and saw a small amount of white smoke coming from the driver side of the radiator its a flyudine, (towards the middle of radiator) The car doesn't overheat and runs normal. Any ideas guys?

I think I've found the problem guys. After running the car to normal operating temp I blasted the a/c and ran it for awhile. I started to get a white smoke from the radiator which seemed to be coolant burning off. I took a flashlight and looked inside the fan shroud and there were a couple pools of coolant inside the bottom of the shroud. I am thinking I probably have a leaky hose going into the radiator. I don't get an overheating issues from the radiator/ Anybody have any further insight?

You're just going to have to look and see where the leak is coming from.

Maybe go get a coolant system pressure tester loaner tool from Advanced Auto or Autozone and put that on and pump it up to help look for the leak while the engine is cold might be easier.

Like kurt stated...no one can help you....you need to find the leak!!! Take off the fan shroud if you need to!
