I've been getting the same thing right after my service and I brought it in to my school, I go for automotives, my instructor said that it might be a bag that was snagged underneither and is being burned by the exhaust -__- long behold when we lifted it there was some burnt stuff on the piping. We scrapped that off and on the drive home it still smelled so im taking it back in today to further investigate. Let me kno if u find the problem
Edit: tho in my case it smells more like oil over gas... maybe a mixture.

I just bought the car a couple weeks ago and couldnt find anything wrong under the hood. it only has 18k stock miles on it... Im a bit skeptical about the vishnu tune and think that might be the problem, but im still not quite sure.

It started actually a lil before my 36k service so I took it to AWD thinking that it was my motor oil. After they changed all my fluids n belts I thought it would've fixed the problem but it hasn't. We checked for oil spills in class yesterday n found non so im bringing it back in and hopfully find the problem cause I don't have the funds to take it back in to be diagnosed n fixed :/....
