Default Strong smell of coolant

Hi all, I own a '98 Accord coupe V-6 ,104K. After driving car around, doesn't have to be long distance,when parking in garage there is a strong smell of coolant from car. It doesn't leak and it doesn't overheat ,so I am curious if anyone knows what could be the problem? Cooling system has been pressure tested, no problems there.Does anybody have any ideas?
Thanks, Cedric

How's your heat? Is your floorboard dry?

The floor boards dry, and air and heat work fine without overheating.

Maybe a small leak, boiling on the engine .... you only smell this in the garage? Maybe some coolant spilled in there.
