And it never hurts to check all your fluid levels. I know that in the past I have had that smell from a hose leak on my power-steering pump. If the engine compartment is greasy or there is a lot of build up. Take it to a car- wash. Open the hood and use the degreaser setting and power wash it off. That can help you find a leak a little easier.
