Default antifreeze smell ???

When my truck sits at idle both after starting and after coming to a stop following driving I am able to smellantifreeze from somewhere. Smeels like it is coming from the exhaust or maybe is just cooking on the side of the engine. Anyhow itsvery noticable, any key locations to look at?

Look at the base of the throttle body, you'll see 2 small cooling hoses, is it leaking there?
If not, go straight to a shop and have the do a coolant pressure test to find the leak. If you haven't had head gaskets yet you may be ready.
