    My 2005 chrysler 300 C leaks anti-freeze coolant.
    Every time I drive my car and park it, ill let it cool down and it will drip anti-freeze. Almost every few days it will be almost empty and will use a whole bottle of antifreeze within a month. I can smell some burning antifreeze when I pop the hood and sometimes when I turn my car with my window down... What could this be?

    If the engine has ever overheated, the head gasket may be leaking, allowing antifreeze to be burned. Is there any white smoke in the exhaust.

    My oil has no milky tint to it, my car doesn't overheat at all it stays at a constant temp, my exhaust has no white fumes to it either... this is why I'm so stumped on what it might be?

    Try to isolate the leak (e.g. water pump, hoses, radiator).
