Tractor is a 2008 and has 245 hours on it. Pressure tested the system and could not see any leaks. Anybody having this problem?? Dealer thought it might be the water pump?? Dave

Making an educated guess here.....you're smelling the anti-freeze in the exhaust?

If so.....it's a bad head gasket - letting the anti-freeze into the combustion chamber and burning it.

:eek:
