Hi everyone I've bought a 2008 SH5 Forester XT and had it about 3 weeks.
However I've recently noticed in the last week that it has a hot coolant smell after every drive (didn't smell it on test drive but could have missed it), I've somewhat pin pointed the strongest bit of the smell from around the passenger side headlight.. I've driven it almost 1,000kms already since I've had it and I haven't noticed any coolant loss from reservoir or radiator no smoke or anything suspicious.
The reservoir however is roughly 10mm over the "full" mark. How likely is it that the smell is just an overfull reservoir? Anyone had same problem and worked it out? I've googled it and got a bunch of results saying it's a normal Subaru thing and nothing to worry about.. but I've had other Subaru in the past that definitely didn't smell like this 🤣
Cheers
