I have 2008 Chysler Town and Country 127000 miles. I'm smelling coolant coming from the engine. I doest look like I'm losing any.

You have coolant seeping from somewhere, could be anything from a pinhole in a hose to a loose clamp to a water pump dripping to a radiator leak. If you let it go long enough you will likely see the coolant level drop - possibly quickly if the leak turns into a big one. You should probably pressure-test the cooling system.

First off, congrats on knowing what coolant smells like! Not many know haha and second congrats on having a chrysler at 127k miles! Tis an accomplishment indeed haha! I agree with @Chuck Tobias, pressure testing the system will be the easiest way to tell if there is seepage/leakage. I suspect one of the many Y connectors is the culprit for the leakage. Chrysler loved those things.
