Check your cabin air filter normally the seal is a hard plastic and busted up .first you'll pull off your Cowl Hood that is a few bolts i believe (oh and turn batt pow ignition to be able to leave wipers vertical and out the way )now the cabin air filter remove that and seal looks busted remove that and silicone both sides and let set should be no more coolant smell or leak thats a common.possibility
