Do you ever notice your radiator coolant level dropping?
As for the acceleration point I asked about - - engines with bad rings will smoke (burn oil) under heavy acceleration.
I'm thinking you could be burning engine coolant.

Well, I've never smelt burning oil, but this doesnt smell bad really, I wouldnt really say it smells sweet though, but mabye thats what it is. I havent checked the radiator coolant level in a while, I'll do that tomorrow.
