Intermittent coolant smell

Hey everyone - So I should preface this by saying I haven't even been driving my 2008 v6 Sport Edition (80k miles) for a month yet. I'm still 'getting used to' how the truck drives, sounds, etc. This could be totally normal but I'd figured I'd ask anyway.

Everyone now and then, while driving, usually stopped at the light or stop sign, I get a whiff or 2 of what smells like coolant. It seems to be only while driving. I could pull into my garage, close the door (to 'trap' the oder) and I don't smell it. It's very strange. I come from owning Subarus in the past so coolant smells I'm pretty use to lol.

Anyway, the level seems fine, no leaks etc. Just wanted to see if anyone wants to give their 2 cents, I'd appreciate it.
