Antifreeze smell.

I have a 2018 SL63 AMG. The last couple of times I pull into my garage there is a strong anti freeze smell. I have 2700 KM on it. When I took it to MB dealer they could not find anything, they did a pressure test. Any suggestions ? I looked , couldn't see any leaks or puddle on floor.Thanks
PS. I was told by the service dept. .... The coolant system is pressurized and can release an antifreeze smell....is this true?

What amount of pressure did you use to check the system?

The correct forum may yield better results. https://mbworld.org/forums/sl63-amg-sl65-amg-r231-190/

If I were to take a WAG, it would be one of the coolant pipes from the engine to the turbo.
