pull the auto fluid dipstick m8 and smell it

could give us a hint

ok.

If it smells sweet could it be coolant?? Maybe from the matrix.

burning clutch tends to smell quite acrid, i know (or knew ;) ) the smell well.

indeed smells ****ing vile :wack:

 

if the guy says a sweet smell we can rule that out :wack: :p

Sounds like auto tranmission fluid. Check the dipstick is not jumping out as it could come out there if its overfilled. Also it could be a sign that the autobox is on its last legs if the trans oil is brown dirty and smelly rather than clear red. Other possibilities are the tailshaft seal allowing fluid to hit the exhausts or leaks in lines to the fluid cooler.
