Burning coolant. Argh!!

I just had my timing belt and water pump done a few days ago. Now I smell coolant after shutdown. How long should I wait before I admit that it's seepage and complain to the shop?

I initially thought it was just residual coolant on the block from draining it but this has gone on for a few days now. Thoughts on how long to burn off if it is residual?

Is your current coolant level dropping? Good check.

Default Doesn't appear to be

I'm guessing that if it is leaking it's just seepage and not a full-on leak. There are no puddles and the level seems stable so far.
