Hi my fellow jag owners:

I am a new Jaguar owner.

I love my car but I am having a problem with it leaking coolant. I first noticed the smell of burnt antifreeze so I knew I had a problem. The car has never ran hot with me, however, I am not the original owner, I have had it for two years. It has 120,00 miles on it.
I have replaced the water pump and thermostat housing (which i was shocked that it was plastic) last week and today I had to add about 8 ozs of coolant.
The leak is coming from the middle of the car.
Has anyone else had this problem? I do not want to keep replacing parts if they are not needed.
Any suggestions? Thanks a bunch
