Sorry another Warranty Question, a little long.

On my 2002 GT I noticed the other day after a short drive a smell from under the hood, coolant? I checked didn't see any evidence of a leak or anything.

Then this morning after returning from the gym I noticed it again and looked a little closer this time and noticed a small spot of antifreeze in the valley under the intake and it looks like it's coming from under the intake manifold.

When I bought the car used from a Ford dealer it was one of those recertified used cars and came with a 5year - 70,000 extended drivetrain warranty. I'm not sure what the problem is but would it be covered? I'm currently around 63K miles.

I have changed the overflow tank to a Canton aluminum tank last spring and run the stainless flex coolant hoses, should I put the stock parts back on before I take it in?

Can anyone tell me what the difference is between a 16lb vented radiator cap and a 16lb non-vented radiator cap?

I think it may be a cracked manifold. Put the stock parts on and take it to the dealer I would suggest.

:Word:

Try to put everything you can back to stock, that they'll be looking at.

Were would it crack, I thought that was only a problem with the ones that didn't have the aluminum crossover, mine does.

Not sure exactly where your leak is but I agree to put everything back to stock. If not, they will blame what you did as the cause.
