I think I'm smelling coolant. Like if my car is burning coolant like after you blow your motor. The car is not running hot or acting funny. It runs fine with no problems. I can still V-TEC and everything. But once I stop at a light or whatever you can smell coolant. I have no leaks that I can see and I clean my engine bay very well. No spots on the garage floor. Any suggestions would help.

Check your radiator near the cap. Our radiators are prone to cracking just below the cap on the plastic.

I would suggest starting the car and letting it sit in one place and let the radiator run through a few fan cycles and see if you can see any coolant puddling on the ground. If you see it puddling on the ground then trace it back to the source following the wet sheen you see.

Tried... no leaks...
Could it be just the smell coming from my Invidia Test Pipe? but its been on there awhile now and its never been this bad of a smell.

I have a friend with an Invidia V2 and TP and he gets a smell from his exhaust when he comes to a stop as well.

Is your coolant level fine? If so, I would rule out the coolant leak.
