The smell gives it away. Can you open the cooling system resevoir (before it's hot enough to build pressure) and see if the; /html/shop-talk/2008-09/msg00114.html (8,899 bytes)

I will keep my eye on the radiator overflow container for loss of fluid and bubbles. I have never found the actual radiator cap, just the overflow; /html/shop-talk/2008-09/msg00115.html (10,309 bytes)

Since your initial cost is little, I would immediately dump a can or two of Bars Leak or similar into it and see what happens.
