what does yours smell like?
It's definetly not coolant. It's either power steering fluid or oil. I'm not sure it's oil though, as oil usually has a stronger smell; this has, like you said, a half oil/sweet smell.

I'm going to have my mechanic check it out this week and see if he can do something about it. I have to change the power steering line either way, I'm putting a bottle of fluid every week as it is, dripping like crazy.
