Default 2010 escape, white smoke above radiator. Help!

Hello everyone, this just started today but I have white smoke coming from the front of the car next the radiator. It's sweet smelling so I'm guessing it's coolant. It is not overheating. Any suggestions would be appreciated. 2010 Ford escape 4 cylinder, 200k miles.

Keep an eye on the coolant level.
It could be something simple like a hose clamp that needs to be retightened or it could be something else.
It you can get hold of a cooling syst press tester, just pump it up to no more than 15 psi and watch the gauge. You will probably see it dropping and then just look for the leak.
