else can it be? My car smells like it's burning and my engine coolant is leaking rapidly. I replaced my radiator hose and thermostat thinking that would fix my problem but it didn't. But i still smell buring as if my car is overheating. I looked at it the other day and this pipe in my car is leaking fluids.? I really need help on findind out why my 1997 pontiac bonneville is leaking fluids and smells like it buring.
 
Three things to check. #1. Weep hole on the bottom of the water-pump. #2. Heater hoses from the water-pump to the firewall and heater hose coming back. #3. Wetness on the carpet passengers floor. It's easy to chase down coolant leaks with a cooling system. Antifreeze doesn't evaporate very fast. You need to get the car up on jack-stands or a pair of plastic ramps to look at the bottom of the water-pump weep hole. Usually if you smell a sweet stink when the motor is hot you've got an antifreeze leak somewhere.

I'm betting it's the heater core leaking coolant in the air duct-work.
