Your air con pipe might be blocked and water gets stuck in there.
There will be a coolant leak somewhere-u need to check all the connections.

Re: NB stinks like coolant!! Not heater core ;)
Clean up the coolant residue as much as possible. I had a hose fail a while back while I was on track and it covered the engine bay in coolant, even after it had dried up it smelt like burning coolant for a long time. There might be a pool of it still sat on top of the gearbox, it can also make its way in to the bell housing.
Also have a look at how full the coolant overflow bottle is, if it is to full it will overflow when the car is up to temperature.

If it is coming from the back of the motor, could be the rubber nipple has perished. Happened to mine about a month ago.
