A few places to look: Check to make sure you have a good rubber seal on the underside of your radiator cap. Get a mirror and look at the backside of the engine block for wetness meaning a leaking intake manifold especially if you have a 4.3

What should you do if on your '93 Taurus the temp gauge fluctuates and you can smell antifreeze?
Make sure it is full of coolant. There probably is a small leak causing the smell. Check it cold as sometimes it leaks cold but not hot.
Is there a brake fluid sealer that works for brake fluid leaks?
NO, the problem needs to be properly repaired. its not like an oil or antifreeze leak. the basic principle of a brake system is the free movement of fluid through the brake lines. an additive to this system to "stop" a leak would ruin the whole system and be catastrophic to fix. brake leaks are generally an affordable fix.
What could the problem be on a 97 dodge ram if antifreeze still leaks badly even after the thermostat has been replaced and the radiator and pump was pressurized by a professinal and found no leaks?
Where is it leaking? That pressure test sounds funny, why would you pressurize only the pump and radiator? If you are leaking coolant outside the engine, locate the source. If you are losing it from the radiator but cannot find a puddle suspect a head gasket problem. Check the Radiator cap first, if it is bad high pressure coolant will travel back to the overflow bottle.
Why does your antifreeze run out so quick?
It might be a freeze plug open on the motor (a safety feature). Once the level gets low enough, it will stop leaking.ANS 2 - More likely is that it's leaking while the engine is running and hot. Check at the base of waterpump. Also any hoses to heater,etc. If you don't see any leaks and it still leaks it may be the head gasket. ( Let's hope not.)
