2003 ST with 190K miles
My truck has been having a strong "barnyard" odor whenever I turn on the AC (just started using AC this past weekend). And today when I got to work, discovered a sizable pool of green liquid on the ground under the front passenger side of the truck. When I swabbed the liquid with a paper towel, it had the same very distinct barnyard odor. I already knew it had a anti-freeze leak that was causing a different type of burning smell (mechanic hasn't found that leak yet), but before today there was nothing pouring out of the truck like this. Also, this new smell is very different from the previous burning anitfreeze smell and the antifreeze they put into the truck was orange, not green.
Does anyone have any thoughts on what this could be? Does the common radiator leak that I've read about result in green liquid streaming out? So far my ST has not had a radiator problem.
Thanks for any input!
