Hi there,

make sure that you have not picked up some plastic on the exhaust under the car and it is this that is stinking as it burns off, any fluid on the engine will burn of after a very short time.

You will have to flush this with water, and my be a cleaner that dose not smell so bad, there is no much else that you can do.
