My Ford cars always seem to have this problem. I took them to the factory dealer many times. They also seemed to overheat. I finally had the radiator completely replaced by a radiator shop and this seemed to clear up most of the burning smell and overheating. My conclusion from these experiences is that the Ford radiators are not quality. Consider replacing your radiator. It is a lot cheaper than the alternative of having your engine seize. Oh, this solution was not suggested by the shops, they just kept replacing my hoses and water pump.
