Transmission Fluid. Many cars have a transmission cooler built into the radiator to cool the transmission fluid. Sometimes there is an internal rupture in the system spilling transmission fluid into the radiator thus mixing with the coolant.

At times your car smells like the engine is hot?
When your car smells like the engine is hot, is the engine hot? If it smells hot and the engine is not hot, then you have coolant escaping onto a hot surface. You may have bad radiator hoses, a leaky radiator, a blown gasket, or some other problem. You need to find the leak.

What causes water in the exhuast?
There are basically 2 causes. One cause is condensation which is normal. This is the hot exhaust hitting the cold parts causing water to accumulate. It goes away after the system warms up. The other cause is a blown head gasket which is very serious. If the water smells and taste sweet, it is coolant and you have a blown head gasket. Stop driving the car immediately and have it repaired. Other signs of a blown head gasket are coolant in the oil, air bubbles coming from the radiator inlet with the cap off.
1990 mustang gt losing coolant not burning it or leaking it so where is it going?
If it is loosing coolant, it is either leaking or you have a blown head gasket. You say it is not leaking or burning it. Sorry, but you are incorrect. It is doing one or the other. Sometimes a leak can be in a location where the coolant evaporates before hitting the ground. Check you oil for the presence of coolant. Smell the tailpipe, if it smells sweet, you have a blown head gasket. Remove the radiator cap and start the cold engine. Watch and if you see bubbles, blown gasket. Feel underneath the water pump at the weep hole. If you feel coolant, bad pump.

Why can't i keep coolant in the radiator even after replacing freeze plugs?
If you can find no outward leaks, and you are sure its not being blown back into the overflow reservoir by a bad radiator cap, the only other explanation would be a blown head gasket, but if that were the case you would see white smoke from your exhaust, and smell a sweet smell from your exhaust. check all hoses and other possible locations for leaks before exploring the head gasket, many people lose their coolant through bad radiator caps while they are driving and never realize until its too late, it will spill out the overflow on the road and virtually nothing while sitting still.
