Recently noticed strong smell of antifreeze when driving the van, what appears to be steam at time coming from under the hood. Low coolant warning light has come on intermittently. However, temperature gauge doesn't indicate any change in temp. I know these vans have a reputation for problems with the intake manifold gasket after 100,000 miles. Could this be my problem?
