Getting quite a nasty burney smell. I only seem to notice it after the car has warmed up and I am at a standstill, kinda don't really get it when the cars moving. There appears to be a slight leak on the power steering container, it doesn't seem to be a big enough leak to warrant the amount of smell. I had a decat downpipe fitted and now have no heat-shield, although I got the smell before that was removed. Any ideas fellas?

Number of likely options....

1. power steering fluid dripping on manifold
2. rocker cover gasket dripping onto manifold or downpipe
3. underneath intercooler hoses venting oil again catching on downpipe

Best to take it in so it can be looked at, cleaned off or repaired...
