Runs fine, mpg average, no miss, no hesitation.
When I shut it off it smells fruity near the engine. There is no oil or radiator fluid leaks. No reason to add and fluids are all good and the correct colors. Just at times it smells like nitrous a doctor administers.
Any ideas? Exhaust leak? Also ac is blowing cold still. I state cause I thought freon leak..

I thought I was all alone in this world

Quit eating Fruit Roll-ups on the way to work?
Could have a small coolant leak that's running on to something hot and vaporizing off of it. Smells sweet.
