Coolant smell ?????

Damn! Spoke too soon about car running well......
I am now smelling coolant but there seems to be no apparent leak.
By-pass valve looks good and is only 25,000 miles old. ("So what!!!" I hear you say.)
Coolant tank shows no sign of depletion.
Hoses in good shape and can see no seepage anywhere.
Seems to occur after driving about 3 to 4 miles.
I can smell it in the cabin at idle when sitting at a light or such.
Any ideas or experience?
My 3-time now experience with "the valve" is that it drops the coolant on the driveway or parking lot ... just when you least expect it.
Never had the smell before as any kind of sign.
Probably will have to change it out speculatively, but 25k !!!!!
Man that's tough.
2005 linear wagon. 78,000 miles
