Symptoms are:
You have a 3100 or 3400 V6
Low coolant, some cars are equipped with a low coolant sensor
Car temp fluctuates or overheats
You can smell coolant at stoplights or after you get out of the car
Coolant leaks under car but not from radiator area
Best thing is to check the ends of the lower intake manifold with a flashlight to see if coolant has leaked and puddled up on the engine block. Mine was leaking on the side where the crossover exhaust pipe is located.
