The inside of your car smells like gas?

If you smell gasoline inside your car while you're idling or driving, you probably have a fuel leak somewhere under the hood. If you only smell it while idling, it is probably leaking somewhere between the fuel tank and the engine - wind passing through the grill pushes the smell out behind the vehicle instead of into the cabin. There are several different places fuel can leak from. A leaky fuel line or fuel filter would be the most likely sources, but occasionally fuel tanks can leak from damage or seals. Either of these would be reason to get your vehicle to a mechanic as there is a huge potential for fire. If you only ever smelled it once, it may have come from some other vehicle or a fuel station.

Why is my antifreeze leaking out of my 2000 Ford Taurus and why does it smell?

I really don't understand what you are asking. Anti-freeze is leaking because you have a leak. But you already know that. If you are smelling coolant at the exhaust, then STOP driving this vehicle. You have a blown head gasket or a cracked head, or both. Serious engine damage will occur if you continue to drive it. Anti-Freeze smells sweet.
