Either going to be the valve cover or the intake manifold breather/pcv gaskets.

I was concerned that this leak was my over whelming coolant smell. I will gladly take a valve cover gasket over head gasket.

Things usually don't leak up unless it gets slung by something rotating, or blown around. As others said, valve cover or intake gaskets. My intake kept leaking after tightening the bolts. Found the intake gaskets damaged.

Wife's grand Cherokee had valve cover seal issues and also had a very distinct coolant smell when warm. Seems to have gone away since sealing it back up. Hope you have the same resolution...
