You should be able to tell the difference between exhaust fumes, burning oil, and burning clutch, they are all very different smells. Just saying a funny smell doesn't mean much since there can be all sorts of smells.
A girl brought her 2011 GT in to the dealership because she smelled something burning. they checked it out said it was fine, then one day her engine bay caught on fire. So... it's important to be able to determine what type of smell it is and where it's coming from.
