I don't see how draining the coolant would cause this to happen. Is it coming out of the muffler or just the engine area? If it's in the engine area it could just be residue evaporating. Check coolant seal by opening rad cap. Rev engine to 3-4k. Look for lots of tiny bubbles. A giant burp is fine.

Pressure test your cooling system. But my guess would be on leaking/dirty fuel injectors possibly overheating your cat (i'm guessing you have a cat since your in CA) then making it smell like overworking cat sulfur-ish smell.
Don't forget to also do a compression test on the engine.

Go to autozone or advance. Ask for a coolant system pressure tester (rental tool). Follow instructions on tool.
Compression test using compression tester attached to spark plug hole.
Now it's starting to sound like you would have a coolant issue....
