Default Weird smell

Well after letting the Z sit in my garage for a month (tank was full)
I drove it today and their is a funny smell when I am driving it, smells like radiator fluid.

Anyone know of this potential problem. I checked the fluid, looked underneath, can't see anything dripping, ect.

I got on the gas really hard at a stoplight and the smell seemed to get stronger.

The car is almost 7 months old and has 1800 miles.

No mods, other than a drop-in filter. and front brakes.

Anyone??

When you got home, nothing was dripping, etc? Should not be any reason for leakage unless it's a fluke.

Drive it around for another day or so and see if the odor resides... if it's gone, no worries!

Sounds like you too had a warm day and got the Z out????
