Why would your car smell like antifreeze when you get out?
if you can smell antifreeze, you have an antifreeze leak somewhere. you need to clean engine then look for coolant . it will generally pool on ground under vehicle unless it is leaking onto engine and burning off. note that the coolant will run so you may have to trace back to the actual leak. check all coolant fittings, such as hoses and check area round water pump.
1998 mustang GT and when I stop and have the car idleling and then you step the acceleration it throws a cloud of white smoke from your exhaust tail pipes what might be the problem their is it costly?
I would suggest a COOLING SYSTEM PRESSURE TEST as this could be a leaking head gasket if it is WHITE smoke as you say. Black or blue smoke under these conditions would indicate valve seals. Have you noticed the antifreeze to be getting low? Do you notice a sweet smell in this smoke? Antifreeze steam has a sweet odor to it.Yes it can be expensive BUT get a couple of opinions.
What if you smell coolant outside the car?

Why does a car engine smoke and smell?
It depends on what color of smoke and how it smells. The question is somewhat vague. However, if the smoke is white it is due to burning oil. Black is from burning gasoline. If the smoke is coming from the exhaust pipe then you either have leaking valves or oil is blowing past the piston rings, both are significant problems. If the smoke is coming from under the hood the most likely issue would be leaking valve covers or a leaking PCV valve. Hope this helps, if not give some specifics on the smoke and I can better help you.

White smoke indicates coolant burning, usually accompanied by a sweet smell. It is possible to have a blown gasket and have no coolant in the oil, the leak is probably only present while the coolant system is under pressure and all of it is being burned in combustion.

Why does the car smoke after shut off?
if it is under the hood, it could be a small antifreeze or oil leak that when the engine is running the smoke is blown away, but when shut off it continues to burn off but is not blown away.
What causes a burning smell under the hood but no sign of smoke?
It could be a number of things, but the most common reason is because oil is thrown up ontop of the engine and burns off from the heat. could be an oil leak. it could be that your radiator is barely cooling down your engine, and slightly burning oil. there are alot of answers to this question.
