<_< I drive a 94 Bronco with a 302. The odometer has 138,000 miles showing on it. It runs great, but I lose about 1 half to 1 pint coolant every 2 to three weeks year around. It runs cool to normal temps never been hot. I have no leaks that I can find but can smell the sweet odor and smell also like it is hitting something hot and drying up. I checked the pump but did not see a leak there eitherl I had a cracked radiator a year ago and replaced it with a new one also changed all the hoses in that area. No change, still same loss. Is there a usual place that could leak for an engine this old and with this milage? I also keep checking the oil, but see no milky or mosture signs. tks Hiboy

If you can smell the coolant while driving, it's normally a leak in the heater core. it may be running under the carpet inside where you don't see it.

Yup, I gotta second that. The sticky-sweet smell is pretty much always a heater core leak.
same here that happened to me made my floors realy nasty if that not it then try looking at the water pump when the truck has be running for a while it may be leaking from the relief value that also happened to me the coolent ran all the way back to the headers and burnt and smelled weird will i was driving
