Heads up everyone. My 2018 JLUR with 47k miles is going to be at the dealer for a couple of weeks while waiting for a replacement radiator.

I noticed the other day a heavily sweet smell coming from the engine bay. After sniffing around, I found that the smell was strongest at the driver's side radiator end cap. I also noticed some small orange staining on my garage floor in the same general spot. But, I could not find the leak or any wetness anywhere.

In short, trust your nose. If you smell something off, check your fluids. My coolant bottle was at the minimum even when hot when I caught it.

Jeepless but still a fan.
A couple weeks for a radiator? Jeez. This supply chain thing is really a drag.
