are you losing fluid?

If your not losing any fluid then you probably just spilled some when changing it.

good
Keep a good eye on the level for a couple weeks.
Also make sure the passenger floorboard is dry too. (heater core is over there)

heater core does not always leak before you get the smell. bypass your heater core and see if you still get the smell

it only smells on the outside of the car...inside is nada.....so it cant be the heater core....right?
