Default Any smells after driving hard?

Hi

I was just wondering are there any distinct smells after you
have driven your scooby hard? I know with the heat that any
smells there before would be easier to detect. I notice after a
hard run that the engine bay has a smell ...

thanks

I get this, I traced it to a small water leak from one of the hoses going onto the turbo. The antifreeze drips onto the hot turbo and evaporates off giving the nasty smell.

If you`ve driven it hard, & I mean really hard.. there might just be a funny kinda smell from your pants.
