Thanks, yeah I babied it 5 miles coming home and it still smells. It's faint, not horrible and of course the clutch holds well and no other indicator. The dealer is convinced I don't know how to drive.

I'll also add that the dealer said I could be eligible for a free clutch if abuse wasn't deemed the cause. Since I only have some 30-50 miles on it, any damage would be from before.

Clutch engagement seems normal, it's not near the top. I also don't know if the smell is lingering from prior test drive abuse, as I just got this car. Also, the smell seems to only be noticeable from the drivers side, not so much from the passenger side. I read some threads here about similar smells, but nothing conclusive.
