Some INFINITI QX56 owners report experiencing coolant leaks under the hood, which may be caused by a leaking radiator cap. These leaks can lead to steam without necessarily resulting in engine overheating, and they often produce a sweet smell, trigger warning lights, and create wet spots in the cabin. Identifying the source of the leak is crucial to avoid further issues and costly repairs. Additionally, spilled coolant can emit a persistent odor, damage the car's paintwork, compromise cooling efficiency, and even pose a fire hazard. Owners are advised to address any suspected radiator cap leaks promptly to prevent further damage and ensure safety.
