Strange Car Smell

[NeedMoreFans]

So lately, I have had a very strange smell coming out of my car. It smells like celery (strange, I know). It only happens when I start the car and when the engine is cold, and normally goes away after a couple minutes. About a month ago, I had a coolant leak from the reservoir, so I had that replaced and had a coolant system flush as well. I'm thinking maybe coolant got somewhere it shouldn't have, and is burning off when I start the car. Any ideas?

Usually the O follows the B.

did a valet park your car recently?

and. . . MARK! Less than an hour to get the Seinfeld reference out there. Bravo!

 

I'm not a car person whatsoever but is it possible that they used the wrong kind of coolant when they flushed it and filled it? I know that there are various types of coolant and that the wrong one could wreck havoc with your engine. Just an idea, albeit a pretty lame one (probably.)
