maybe it's the screw that fell out inside of your little plastic cap?

Keep an eye on it, it may last for a while yet, or it may decide to be a pyromaniac tomorrow

When you park the car, check at the cowl where the hood corner meets the windshield.

The smell of fuel or coolant leaks tends to concentrate there.
