Only thing Ive ever smelled like that bud is the clutch if ive launched it, it might not do any damage, but it will wear it down slightly.

Id get it checked out bud if it can't be identified, you never know what damage your doing and if the £ might be mounting up the longer you drive it like that, if you know what I mean.
