The senders for the gauges, oil pressure and water temp, are on the driver's side of the head.
The switch that controls the radiator fan is (ta-da) on the bottom of the driver's side of the radiator, right where your ozone smell is coming from. Probably loose quick connects or anti-freeze or some crap on the contacts.
