Burnt Coolant smell?!?

Hey everyone. Recently when i turn the car of and get out, i can smell coolant. It is like a sweet smell, like syrup almost. I looked and didnt see any leaks anywhere, checked oil cap and dipstick and didnt see anything weird. Also my coolant level in the white plastic resoviour is filled about halfway...any words of wisdom? Only mod is aem v2

took a look today in the light. See coolant on the exhaust manifold and also inside the left fan shroud. Any ideas?

Left fan shroud?? right below the radiator cap, right? I'd check there. And the little rubber hose going to the tank. If it's not there, you my have a pin-hole in the radiator. The fan is blowing it onto the engine/exhaust manifold. But it could be coming from the engine, just not likely to blow forward onto the fan shroud.
