You may have spilled some on the big hose's and they get pretty hot. Sometimes it takes a long time for that smell to dissipate. Keep your eye on the coolant level ... just to be sure

    My vehicle will start, idle rough, and die. When I keep the gas on, it stays one but idles rough. After a couple of minutes, the smell of burning rubber and smoke came under the hood.
