Dodge Stratus Coolant Problem
I need a solution.. so I have smoking coming from a hose, running out of my coolant tank. Which makes it seem like my car is on fire! Also my heater is blowing ice cold. The check engine light went off yesterday? I'm thinking coolant leak? I got coolant/anti freeze no dilution needed. I had to put it in twice. My main question is how much does this usually cost to fix?! I'm a woman so I'm lost when it comes to car problems. Also the smoke smells sweet?!

did it overheat?? it sounds like you may have damaged the head gasket from this issue.
have a shop check this for you as we are here and not there to see it, touch it and give you an opinion
