Check for the remnants of a burned plastic bag on your exhaust system. Fairly common occurance. If that's what is causing the smell, it will eventually go away after the entire bag is burned away.

my fear would be that if you brought it to the dealer and they found nothing wrong, would they charge you? what does the smell make you think of? burnt oil? burning rubber? melting wires? burnt coolant?

smells slightly like oil but its not burning an abnormal amount of oil! Just smells a little different than most cars! Think it is normal but just wanted to see what you guys thought
