Coolant smell out of the exhaust, not good. Can you tell where the coolant may be pouring from when you see the giant puddles?

I would 100% recommend using a Block Tester kit to check for another HG issue, if you have an Autozone near you they rent quality ones for free, you just buy the fluid. I know some here think they dont work but I have seen it work countless times, and it worked on nsm484's SVX

Also, just to update... I did buy a Block Tester. I Syphoned my fluid out of the rad. just enough to make sure it didn't get sucked into the tester.
I did the test 3 times, going nice and easy on the ball as to not suck in air too fast, And each time... It changed to yellow fairly quickly.

I would do this to first rule out HG problems....... compression pressures in your cooling system can cause weird sporadic leaks and other strange symptoms, so ruling that out will help finding other possible problems.
