Hi Doug , make sure your fans work , if they don't it could either be they're stuck or the sensor switch located in the top R/H corner of the rad is faulty , it may be a good idea to drain down the coolant system and replace with new coolant , the plastic overflow res is filled with a mix the same as in the system . There isn't an easy way to get to the dummy light that i know of , it's a top fairing off job . I must admit from what you say it sounds like you have a coolant leak that is putting coolant over either the engine or the rad ( hence the smell ). This is probably why the dummy light isn't coming on , the fans should kick in before the light comes on .
