As of recent my car started using a lot of antifreeze, and I have to refill about every 2 or 3 weeks. And now I have a gud amount of antifreeze in it, but when I drive it for a portion of the day it starts to smell like the antifreeze is burning. Any idea of what it could be?

Do you infact have excessive white exhaust coming out of the exhaust pipe. Or do you have no abnormal exhaust conditions?

No, I havent noticed any white exhaust from the tail pipe.
Is it possible that I could have a leak in one of my hoses and the antifreeze is dripping on my engine to give off the smell?

Yes it could be dripping on the engine and causing it to evaporate. You can pressureize the system and listen to hear where the air is coming from. Either that or you can get some dye in the cooling system and use a black light to look for it.
