Something like this would be hard to diagnose without actually smelling the smell. Clutch/brake smell isn't something I would consider "sweet" per se. The only thing I would consider a sweet smell is antifreeze.

Update: Replaced the two gaskets for the cat. Car still smells like ****. Gonna take it in to the dealer again and have them replace all the gaskets. If that don't fix it. I'm gonna raise hell becuase this car is not even a year old.

Rich car + black smoke = smelly exhaust lean car = no more black smoke = very little smelly

Mine stunk BAD (catless) before the tune, now even at idle inside of a garage it doesn't stink (garage door open, exhaust pointing out... I'm not THAT stupid, nor do I sit there and sniff it, but it does have a TT on it, so it idles while I'm getting crap out of it)

My friend riding behind me yesterday said mine smelled and had smoke comin out when i gave it gas. I know i've got a turbo back exaust but i'm not sure if its the stock cat. I bought the car with the exhaust on it and didnt get the details about the cat.

Anyone know what could be causing this odor? I have 27000 miles, and completely stock.

Thanks, Dave

Dude, did you check your pants?
