<< As I type, my Dak is at the dealer. I was driving this morning and I
smelled
 a funny smell. The only smell I can compare it to is the smell of a freshly
 opened container of tennis balls. Then I start seeing smoke or steam coming
 from the vents and can feel heat. So I immediately head to the dealer. By
 the time I get there I look down to see green coolant on the passenger side
 floormat. Then as I get out to talk to the service advisor I see its also on
 the driver side and on my shoe. So I insist new floormats, even though I
 have some K-mart blue light specials in there. Hopefully they wont notice ;)
 He tried to say that it might not be under warranty. I asked what determines
 if it is? And he said, well the technician has to look at it. BUT, why
 wouldn't it be under warranty, my truck has only 20,000 mile on it? Well,
 see what happens. Anyone else had this happen?

I have had two go out in my 96, first was warranty, second came out of my
pocket. Luckily I am a Dealet Tech myself (Mazda) and was able to do the
repairs.
