FD weird smell from under the hood after it warms up
I started to notice the smell after I replaced a clutch master cylinder and some fluid spilled in the drivers side carpet. The smell is coming from the turbo side of the motor and there are no leaks on that side of the motor whatsoever.
I am not sure what the smell is and no one seems to know what it could be. It does not smell like oil, gear oil, brake fluid or coolant.
If anyone has had this issue please advice on what it could be.

Sir Braps A lot
possibly a clogged cat? i remember a FD that came in having similar problems, it was a nasty smell that we could not figure out. but after taking the cat out we realized it was clogged and burning up.

Make sure you're not burning a hose or anything around that turbo area. Even though you don't see "smoke", doesn't mean nothing is wrong. If it smells weird that's not normal. Go check it out.
That being said where do you have your vents set at? Towards your feet? Maybe you're smelling your feet as the vents are blowing the air to it, then rising up to your face lol. Idk
