I would stay aware of it and take it in to be checked if it continues, but otherwise it's probably normal.

My camaro was the first BRAND new (4 miles on the odometer) car I ever purchased and it had a bit of a smell coming from the engine compartment for about the first 100 miles or so.




Great thats good to hear!
