Check to make sure the serp belt accessories such as idler pullies, belt tensionier... are spinning freely and not burning the belt. Also, often times, oil can lay in areas (after sitting) and create a smell that you didn't have before. If the check engine light is on, have the computer scanned for codes. Most parts stores will do it for free.
