Looking for a good place to have the LC worked on in Louisville, KY. I have a 98LC with 131,000 miles on it. Went out with the family this weekend and when I got there I noticed some antifreeze dripping. Stopped by OReily's and got a gallon. Refilled the radiator and drove it home. When I got home expected it to still be leaking but didn't see anything dripping, opened the hood and can't see where it was coming from. Any Ideas?
Anyone know of a good place to have LC worked on in Louisville KY

AntiFreeze is still full. Was running the heat front and back at 75 degrees on the way out. It was around 26 when I took it out, it's been miserably cold here lately, only thing I've done to it is an O2 upstream sensor on the driver's side.

Used the dealer so far, replaced the starter and put in a new Optima battery. Muffler was rotting out in front so I replaced that, love the quiet but still have the heat shields rattling, maybe take a coat hanger and wire them so they won't vibrate. Thinking when they replaced the muffler they might have bent some stuff out to put it in.

I don't mean to hijack your thread but I am having a similar problem. My dad took my hundy to the Buffalo River last weekend and said when he drove down to the bank and got out, he could smell the distinct aroma of antifreeze burning as if it was dripping onto the engine block and evaporating. He popped the hood and noticed the tank was almost empty so he poured a water bottle in it and stopped at Auto Zone on the way back to refill it with 50/50. Upon return, he informed me about this problem so we popped the hood again but didn't notice any obvious leaks. We couldn't smell it and from where we could see it didn't look like there were any leaks. The antifreeze in the tank was also at the "FULL" mark. Not sure if there's a slow leak in my radiator or not but the fact that he described the smell as "antifreeze hitting the engine block and evaporating" makes me think its a hose somewhere. Any ideas? Let me know if you find the culprit to your problem.
