In the spring I had all of the fluids changed in my car including the coolant to start from scrach. I've noticed the smell of coolant since then, but saw no evidence of a leak until this past weekend. I moved the car to what will soon be my new residence. I noticed the coolant smell, I opened the hood and found that coolant had sprayed the inside of the hood. The leak looks like it is between the radiator and the fan on the drivers side. I have a 95' coupe with 19k miles. When I had the fluids changed my mechanic told me that when he flused the coolant he found rust. It was cleaned out the best he could. He told me that a car with low miles that has sat for some time will develop rust becasue of a chemical in the coolant will eat away at the metal. We discussed this issue and I was going to flush the system once more before winter storage. I guess I'm just wondering what the cost to fix this problem would be.
Thanks for your help in advance.
