No luck on grommets unless i shave em with a dremmel or razor blade and still use silicone. I tried 5 prospects to no avail. Ended up just using silicone to keep it in. Admitted defeat.

Re: Smelling anti-freeze

'02 4.0l SOHC, I had a coolant leak around 130k miles that didn't show on a pressure test. The issue was the plastic intake manifold needed to be replaced. Of course now, a metal one is available.
