it smells like burning rubber and as the car sits the smell gets worst out of the vent in the hood. Its alsmot smells like after u put out a fire. Smells noting like rotten egg.

idk if it is clutch. clutch smell wouldnt keep coming out even if the car is sitting. only when you slip it or ride it. it might be something along the lines as clutch or maybe a rubber hose is hitting the exhaust. i really dont no. i would have to see in person to tell you. just look underneath at anything hitting the exhaust.

Clutch smell can take days to go away. That seems like the most likely cause for the smell.
