I have a Yanmar 1610 which I have owned for 2 years and really like. Recently I noticed a sweet smell while discing and it is apparently coolant. I have looked and can not find leaks. I had to add coolant and the next use I noticed an intermittent miss and the smell of coolant in the exhaust again. I shut down and checked the coolant level and it was down. Added and started and noticed liquid spray from the exhaust. It appears that coolant is escaping into the exhaust. I assume that it is a head gasket problem. There is no oil in my coolant and no coolant in my oil. Any thoughts?
