daMayor: Don't laugh, those things have happened. People have found Mice living in the engine compartments - I know few long Islanders that have told me the story. A Car Guy on the Radio ("The Car Doctor", really good btw, on WOR Radio 710) has mentioned a few times from callers. His way to stop the rodents, who like the warm engines for nesting [they will leave and come back at night], is to apply Mothballs around the garage and in the garage. Most rodents hate the scent.

SFG37 is right. All new cars have the rust inhibitor Cosmoline sprayed on the undercarriage. The smell is the Cosmoline burning off of the exhaust. You may not have noticed it in the past, but they all have it.
