If no leaks, I would ride the beast and keep a check on it, could still be residual that ran somewhere you didn't wash. Wind and engine heat would take care of that.

I change mine every other year, and I ALWAYS have that smell for a week or so. But then, I usually overflow the neck either filling it up or when I blip the throttle. Give it a good week before you start tearing it apart...

The Honda brand seems to be more smelly, Prestone 50/50 way less. Also, just be neat, don't spill any and it smells a lot less
