Default 09 Silverado External coolant smell

I have had an external antifreeze smell on my 5.3 09 Silverado for the past year. It appears when warm and on the driver side. I can smell it with my window down sometimes when I'm driving and outside the cab after I'm stopped. I have marked the reservoir and it looses little or no coolant. There is pressure when I take the cap off. Is this something I should worry about or anyone have any ideas? I can see no signs of leakage either. Anyone else have the same problem. It has 50K miles on the truck.
Thanks in advance for some input.

Ive got the exact issue, I might loose 1/4 gallon a year. I've taken the truck in the most strenuous heat situations possible no overheating at all. but still "the smell"
