What could be the problem in my Chevrolet Malibu car?
sheila092001 asked:
Every one to two weeks I have to add Dexcool coolant to the tank of my Chevrolet Malibu 2000 car. The car has 78,000 miles. The tank appears to be intact. It has not heated up to the point of turning off but sometimes it has a burnout odor. Where could be the problem?

You have a system leak somewhere. Better let a mechanic do a pressure test on the cooling system to pinpoint the problem. Could be as simple as a worn hose or as bad as a head/intake gasket failure.
