Default coolant problem

I recently bought an '03 Tiburon GT. A couple of weeks ago I had a crack in the radiator. I replaced the radiator, upper and lower hoses, and the Thermostat. I still smell antifreeze while parking or sitting still. Anyclue what might be causing this? the Temp gauge isn't raising or anything so it appears that it's not running hot. and I haven't noticed any leaks on the ground, but then again I park on a gravel drive way.
Thanks in Advance for a speedy reply

'03 Tiburon GT = V6

I don't know of any 4-cylinder GT's.

You were cooking the coolant off that had spilled onto the engine. Lots of little places it can pool and then give off that sweet aroma everytime the engine warmed up.
