anti freeze issues

I have a 2004 X3 and I just had the thermostat replaced, the car was overheating. Also they replace a cooling fan sensor. I have had to add anti freeze twice this week, can smell it, but it doesn't appear to be leaking any where. Any thoughts?

    Welcome to the Forum

    Some information on Engine and mileage would assist?

    You say the car was overheating? Obvious thought is head gasket, did the garage carry out a pressure test and sniff test in the Header Bottle? 

    You say you cam smell the antifreeze that to me suggests it is either dripping on the exhaust or if your model is turbo charged a hot turbo.
