Looks like you get to do your first intake removal!

The "sweet smell" is coolant.

Check for leaks with a rented/deposit coolant pressure tester from your FLAPS (friendly local auto parts store) like AutoZone or ???

Put in 10-12 pounds of pressure and watch for drips.

IF--IF---IF you do not find drips, get a leak down pressure tester and check>
Compression-leakdown test

I replaced my fan relay switch on the radiator and it cured the "sweet smell"

and yes, I agree with JRboulder----need AOS seals

Don't worry. An intake removal is easy. We should start an intake removal tips and tricks thread.
