Coolant Odor

My 99 24valve Smells Of Coolant Just Before Thermostat Opens At 185 Degrees. I Think I See Coolant Signs At Front Of Head. Anyone Had This Or Ant Solutions? Thinking Of Having A Marine Gasket Installed.

I have the same issue, but only in the summer months. When the thermostat
opens up a little steam comes out of the overflow bottle and I'll get a hit of coolant oder in the cab then it's gone. Not sure if this applies to you situation, but thats one that got my attention.
Good Luck.
