yes, it's only happened a couple of times. I popped the hood and sniffed around, checked fluid levels, looks for leaks, never came up with anything.
Could have been road debris as another poster mentioned, but I don't remember driving through any.... Are you auto or manual?
I know I've smelled clutch a time or two, but that has a distinct odor, not the same as what I think you have, and I know why that happened..

I have a manual, 17k on the odo. I know is not the clutch. I been driving manual since day one so no excessive clutch slipping here unless I am doing it on purpose LOL. Everything was fine then all of a sudden I am getting the smell.
I just have a feeling that once I go under the car I won't find nothing out of ordinary and the smell will probably go away
