I've come to the conclusion, I've let my OCD get to me and don't believe I really have a leak. My coolant surge tank has a hose that runs to an overflow tank that has a traditional radiator cap that fits loosely because there is no gasket underneath. When installing it years ago, I was advised to remove the gasket to let it breath. Whether that was good advice or not, I'm thinking the coolant smell is coming from the loose fitting cap.
