VEHICLE HAS A SWEET ODOR WHEN DRIVEN
A. check for an engine coolant leak caused by a seeping radiator cap, loose hose clamp, weeping cooling system seal, gasket or cooling system hose and replace or repair. B. check for a coolant leak from the radiator, coolant reservoir, heater control valve or under the dashboard from the heater core, and replace failed part. C. check the engine's exhaust for white smoke in addition to a sweet odor. Presence of white, steamy smoke with a sweet odor indicates coolant leaking into the combustion chamber. Possible causes include a failed head gasket, cracked engine block or cylinder head. Other symptoms include a white past build-up on the inside of the oil filler cap, and softened, deformed or bulging radiator hoses.

Why does my northstar engine overheat?
If your coolant is leaking, chances you have the head bolts pulling, a common problem on northstar engines. Dealer head bolt inserts don't work, they will tell you that, and no guarantee. The only 100% success rate fix would be " NS300L ". These are longer head bolts and inserts. You can find them on the web, and on Ebay.
