[QUOTE="WillB170, post: 2025070, member: 72709"] Hi all, I have a 2011 gen 1 with 160k. Haven't had it too long, but noticed a sweet smell coming from the engine bay and after taking a look my coolant was low and also looked like this (see pic below). I took it to get flushed, but still pretty concerned about the flakes. It looks fine now with the flush, but I’m leaning towards a few reasons - previous owner tried some sort of sealant - bad oil cooler - head gasket? No overheating/coolant in oil/white smoke or drivability issues.. Does this look like oil, or was it just super dirty? Shop said from their record, it hadn’t been flushed since 2013. Just trying to gauge how concerned I should be lol. Any suggestions would be great. [ATTACH type="full"]452752[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
