Got no more leaks but would you get a coolant smell if your headers are leaking .

If your exhaust headers are wrapped it'll be that you've spilt some on the wrap

Until it's burnt off, one of those "how long is a piece of string" questions I'm afraid.

LOL....you try mapping a car that has just had a turbo swap without draining some coolant first. Makes your eye's sting, makes you gag and when you stop it looks like its on fire

If it were fuel it would be a fire, but that's another story......
