For the past week, after a hard drive, I've noticed a sweet tangy smell coming from the car. I can't really locate where it's coming from but I can smell it in the cabin right when I get out. Is this what the clutch is supposed to smell like?

 

Once in a great while I smell something like Brach's Nut Goodies...for those not in the know, these are quarter-sized nut clusters mixed with caramel and give off a strong caramel smell. I believe it's been narrowed down to the smell of burning antifreeze.

 

Probably not the clutch, as that usually STINKS! Usually when the smell is sweet it means coolant. Is your radiator cap on tight? Have you checked it for proper pressure? How about your over flow tank? Is there coolant in there?
