all what was done? items tested? items replaced? flushed?

that smell would make me nervous. all that coolant leaked before the work should be burned off by the 2nd day of running.

coolant dont smell unless it gets out from the cooling system.
It is a pressurized and sealed system - at least it is supposed to be.
check for leaks, specially under the dash and carpets (heater core).
