The car has 94.000 miles on it, but I have had her from new and never missed an oil change, allways kept her up, in facked after all this time. this is the only thing that has not been right with the car (gotta love the maximas)

Sweet smell from the exhaust is usually coolant burning. This is either from a leaking head gasket or cracked head/block/etc.....

Or maybe you've just got a Krispy Kreme stuck in cylinder #1.
