I need help, please.
So, I have a 21 Jeep Renegade Latitude. It isn’t the turbo, if that matters. It just hit 102,000 miles and I’ve had no trouble with it until last night.
I went through a local drive through. Maybe a mile a way. All city driving of no more than 40 mph. I sat idled for maybe 5-7 minutes in park while waiting at the drive through and halfway back home, I started smelling smoke.
When I parked, smoke was coming out from under my hood. I turned the car off and haven’t turned it back on since.
It appears to have leaked some liquid from an area on top. I’m not low on oil and the oil still looks good. It doesn’t smell like oil, either. The smell is very similar to antifreeze or coolant, but the car wasn’t running hot when I got home. Granted, it could have been something that was about to happen.
There’s nothing dripped through on the ground under my jeep at this point.
UPDATE:
Theres a hose that was barely hanging on from the coolant tank to the engine block and when I added liquid to the coolant tank, it came out immediately. The hose just fell loose with just barely touching it, too. I’ll post a pic in the comments.
