Bravada smell coolant. That's how they greet each other.
The head gasket sits between the head and the engine block if it is leaking out where you can see the coolant, yes you can smell the coolant if it is leaking into the engine no you cannot smell the coolant. You can check the oil to see if it has coolant in the oil if it does then the head gasket might be blown.
If your going through coolant then you have an internal head gasket leak you smell coolant because its getting into cylinder and burning

A sweet smell is usually coolant being burned, check your coolant level and oil ( look for milky appearance ) as it may be a head gasket leak. A coolant leak on the outside of the motor may indicate a leak somewhere in the radiator or one of the hoses. When an AC line is leaking I have heard some people describe the smell as sweet.
