Nice video thanks again for the advice

On my mothers Forester she kept complaining she could smell somthing. And of course when I go over and look nothing. well after months of this, I was replacing a CV boot and saw a slight tell-tale sign of coolant ontop of the exaust right uncer the seam between the head and the block. Strange thing is there was no noticable loss in coolant. I guess on her long shopping excursions, it would heat and warp just slightly and allow coolant out-air in and form bubble on the termostat eventully.

bad piston ring? clogged coolant path?
-
@briansmobile1 yes, oil is clean too
-
@odewepe "water heater?" Any who. If the water Pump is good it may be a head gasket. Are both hoses hot?
-
@briansmobile1 Its a new water heater, timing chain, motor oil after driving her for 2,000 miles look clean as it could be. new preasure cap on radiator too. Radiator is also new and does not leak. I am so lost..lol
-
@odewepe Is the water pump impeller rusted away? If not it's time for a compression gasses check at the radiator filler neck.

@briansmobile1 You are freaking me out by your fast and nice responces..We have done everything that we can do. new raditor, new cap, new hoses so we know they are not closing up, checked on thermistat 3 times, checked the fan belts, the gear also and we made it spin faster, we had the entire top of the engine to make sure their was nothing stopped up. nowhere to go from here

@adamthiel88 I've seen many products used (then they come to me) but I've never seen any work effectively. They typically just bugger up the heater core, block passages, and radiator. OUCH!
