My celica consumes a small amount of oil, but today I noticed the car beginning to overheat. I checked the coolant levels, and was roughly 1 gallon low. The oil is not cloudy or milky (it looks like oil), but come to think of it, every once in a while i'll get out of my car and i'll smell that sweet syrupy smell that would indicate a coolant leak. I checked the car for leaks when I filled it up today, but couldn't find anything. Anyone else having a similar problem? Its a 94 GT.

Sorry for crashing in but i have a similar problem in my celi.the oil is not cloudy or milky but the coolant level decreases every now and then and the top hose the connects near the radiator filler cap gets contracted and gets back to normal when i open the cap and it results in some sort of pressure release.All who that i asked say that there is a problem with the radiator and quite possibly with the water jacket.im bummed.sorry once again for crashing into your topic bsamps4.i guess any help will help out the both of us.
