1996 and up Taurus cars have a problem with cracking on the bottom of the reservoir. I have replaced the tank on all three of my familys Tauruses because two had hairline cracks that would leave antifreeze on the ground near the reservoir.

Why would your car smell like antifreeze when you get out?

if you can smell antifreeze, you have an antifreeze leak somewhere. you need to clean engine then look for coolant . it will generally pool on ground under vehicle unless it is leaking onto engine and burning off. note that the coolant will run so you may have to trace back to the actual leak. check all coolant fittings, such as hoses and check area round water pump.

My Pontiac 96 grand am se 2.4L is losing antifreeze the only sign is in the reservior it does not overheat but you can smell the tell-tell smell on hot antifreeze does that mean that thermostat needs?

No. If the themostat is not working the care will run hot if stuck closed and not reach operating temp if stuck open. First check to see if there any sign of leakage on the ground that could mean a bad water pump, hoses, radiator, or freeze plugs. Check the passenger side floor which could mean a bad heater core. Check the engine oil for radiator fliud which will tell you if you have a bad head gasket letting antifreeze into the combustion chamber and out the tail pipe.
