Default Yikes !!! Need help diagnosing an engine problem

I went to the store today and when I was parking, I noticed smoke coming from my hood. It smelled like FLOWERS or something It did not have a pungent or burnt smell but rather like spring grass or something

The smoke was either coming from my long tubes or my manifold. What could this be guys ? I did get on it hard like 15 min before that

Could it have been antifreeze burning off the manifolds? Or maybe you ran over a spring fresh dueche bottle and it splashed up on your headers. lol

The smell sounds like antifreeze but you'll need to pinpoint the location.

Does antifreeze smell that good ? If it does, might as well keep it in my cabin as incense

It scared the crap out of me. I'll look for an exact location
