I got a car about 3 months ago, and the radiator was pretty low. I took it in to have it flushed and it looked like what had been in there had gelled, but the car showed no signs of overheating. After the flush I noticed a pretty bad odor after the car has been off. It seems to go away when the A/C is on and I tested the heat it did not fog up the windows and it did get hot. I'm kind of at a loss because it was flushed until it was clean and I know antifreeze smells sort of sweet, what are some areas I should be looking at that could be the problem?
 
Maybe you or someone accidentally spilled motor oil on the engine or on the exhaust manifold. When the engine warms up it burns or cooks the spilled oil and that's probably where the smell is coming from.
 
check to see if there is water dripping from under the car whi;e the a/c is running. if not, then you may have a stopped up drain tube. does it smell like mildew? if so, this is your problem. take it to any shop and they can blow out the hose to clear the blockage.
