The fan is only meant to help maintain operating temperature. It will only turn on when you exceed operating temperature while the car sits still. Also, **** gets on your radiator, and then it burns off, it's fine. I worried about that once too; I didn't realize that it was just some engine bay cleaning products burning off. Unless it smells like an engine fluid, then you might have another problem.

it smells like burning antifreeze

Have you spilled any coolant on the radiator? Do you have any leaks? How much smoke is there? Granted this doesn't have anything to do with the radiator fan, if you're worried about the smoke, get a pressure tester and check for leaks in the radiator.
