Be advised, even breathing ethylene glycol is not good for you--it is toxic.
Animals like the taste of it so clean up any spills. It only takes a little for toxic effects.
Yes, absolutely! I should have mentioned that. Thank you for correcting my omission.
The odor will travel a ways, allowing you to smell it WITHOUT actually breathing in the steam.

Very much doubt it was coolant. It's actually much more under control now. I checked the coolant level and it was seemed to actually be under a little pressure still... after cooling back down since yesterday.
Not good. Even if ambient temperatures are over 100 degrees F. This indicates a possible blockage.
Exception is if you have a coolant recovery tank. Cooler overnight temperatures would cause more coolant to be drawn into the radiator from the overflow/recovery tank. Then, daytime temperatures would cause some expansion but not enough to cause coolant to be pushed back past the radiator cap into the recovery tank.
