Hi,
100% stock car.
Just took it in for an oil change. When the lot attendant drove my car out, I smelled an acrid smell (burning electronics smell). It was after the service department went home, so I elected to drive the car home. Nothing obviously wrong with the car. The smell eventually blew out of the cabin (I turned the recirculation off). When I got home, I caught a small whiff of it. It smelled like it was coming from under the hood. I popped the hood, and checked things out.
An examination from the super sniffer reveals that the remnant of the burning odor seems to be emanating from a weird location: around the driver's side strut tower!
Any ideas? There seems to be some clutch hardware down next to the strut tower...wrong side of the engine for oil leaking onto the turbo or manifold...and I did thoroughly check around the battery and underhood fuse compartment!
