Default A4 smells funny

All right, over the last couple days, I've noticed an odd smell from my 1.8TQM. It's not coming from the exhaust, it seems like it's coming from the engine bay. It smells a little bit like burning bacon. The only fluid I'm leaking is a tiny power steering leak, I'm getting no codes, no warning lights, and all my temps are normal. Any ideas? I searched for 'bacon smell' just for kicks and didn't get anything!

Are you sure you're weren't having a BLT the last time you were working on your car?

LMAO, I know it's not clutch or brakes, and I really can't pinpoint it. I suppose if my car explodes I can just get a new one, right?

Depends if you survive the explosion or not. Why not drive it and then hurry up and crawl around the car and look?
