Default Bit of help..

Im new to these Forums, and have owned a Cherokee for 4 months now, got a really good deal on it, and not much was wrong with it. Anyways I have a few questions to ask you Jeepers, and maybe someone may know..
  1. When doing long drives, and then parking and turning off my Jeep, I can smell coolant from the radiator. I have checked my resevoir many times, and the level is the same when it cools down, so dont think its leaking. I havent noticed any puddles or drops on the ground either, so just wondering what it may be? or is this a common thing with the Cherokees?
  2. I had a nasty vibration when braking when I got the Jeep, about a month after, and had to replace the pads and rotors. NOW, when Im doing 120km/hr on the highway, I hear this clinking noise from the front right. It almost sounds like the heat shield on the exhaust in the wind, but I have checked that and its fine. It sounds like a heat shield cooling down, but cant find anything loose..
  3. Something to do with lights, or turn signals, I hear this almost buzzing noise from the front dash on the left side sometimes when I signal and its really hot, or Im doing fast.. not sure what that is..
Other then that, I love the Jeep, runs good.

Any help or tips would be appreciated

For the coolant, look for any White residue near the water pump.. could be leaking when its hot and burning off before you see it...
