Default Horrible smell

Hi all,

So over the last 3 or 4 drives, my car has been giving the most horrific of smells
It had a new clutch 9 months/5k ago but already it feels very high in the pedal

Anything else anyone can think of that would make something that smelly??
Last service was 5k ago as well, but regular oil top ups

Cheers,

Jamie
