... you had work done then your coolant leaks.
Although you don’t specify the work that was done, my guess is that the cooling system had a bubble of air either because it wasn’t bled correctly or because the coolant cap was cross threaded.
As soon as the car warms up the air inside the system expands and forces coolant out through the pressure valve and or the cross threaded cap.
Check those things and also purchase a new coolant cap. Pressure test the system and if it tests right, bleed and install new cap.
The left side engine inlet is not for cooling. It’s the actual air intake that passes through the air filter and straight into the throttle body.
I don’t understand how you would get an electrical smell through there unless the Mass Airflow Sensor’s Ewire harness is messed up.
Make sure you test that as well.
