Sweet coolant smell

I noticed today when I came home a sweet Coolant smell from the exhaust. Is this normal? I just turned 100k on my V8. Last week the my Toyota dealer replaced my radiator as it had a small leak in the bottom and now I have this smell. I also had coolant on my front bumper which I am not sure about. No wet carpet and I don't appear to be losing coolant and no white smoke on start up that I can tell. Just had my oil changed and nothing was said about it being contaminated or anything, so at this point I have no idea

I would say no it's not normal, same with coolant on your bumper and since you just had the dealer do work related to this I would be taking it back to them for a cure ASAP!!

The simple answer to your question as it being normal is did you ever have this smell from your exhaust before the work done at the dealer(?) your answer to this would be the answer to your question IHMO.
 
And it's not all the time. Only sometimes do I smell it. I was beginning to think they maybe spilled coolant when refilling it. I see no leaks and the coolant on the bumper is gone. Either way I called them and they said bring it back in
