My husband's CRV is leaking anitfreeze from the radiator. We first noticed a problem when accelerating and hearing a grinding noise as well as a burning smell in lower gears. This problem just started tonight and we would like to have an idea of what we are looking at before heading to a shop. Thanks

Hi sarah_harvey,

Check where the leaking is coming from and top up the coolant.

The overheting could have caused the abnormal smell.
