Car 1: Acura Integra 1998
Need help with Integra - hot engine smell, dealer no fix!!!

The Acura dealer had my 98 Integra for two weeks and could not solve this problem, maybe you can offer some advice??

About 7-8 months ago started noticing a hot engine/slight anti-freeze smell coming from the upper left driver & passenger side toward hood after driving 30 minutes and up. Recent maintence included a replaced radiator and the time belt, very good on oil, checking fluids, etc. Mileage 50K, second owner. Two friends also confirm smell from exterior of car.

Monitored for months and finally took into service, first to my local mechanic. Went through car, did pressure test, couldn't smell the smell and found no fault.

Then took car to Acura service, did same pressure test and went through car, could not find leaks or faults. Assorted technicians took car on long drives up to one hour and could not smell the hot engine/slight antifreeze smell. I asked about heatercore (most people say this could be it) but Acura said car did not show any other signs of heatercore trouble.

And now here I am...I know something is not right. Please help me!!!!

Thanks
