HFC smell? - hard acceleration

Mine does this occasionally too. Smells kind of like hot brakes, but I only get it under hard acceleration. When I was researching buying a G before I bought this

Mine does this occasionally too. Smells kind of like hot brakes, but I only get it under hard acceleration. When I was researching buying a G before I bought this car I remember an issue where oil was pooling around a rear spark plug. Haven't looked at mine yet. It is really not too bad at this point, and since it really doesn't seem like oil I haven't been real concerned.

Another weird smell issue I have is when the car sits overnight on a cool night, when I start the next morning with the AC on Fresh, within 10 sconds a strong hot plastic sort smell that goes away within another 10 seconds. Won't do it again until it sits overnight on a cold night.
