Part of your exhaust emissions is Sodium Monoxide (I think but it is some
single oxygen molecule substance), which combines with the moisture (the O2
in the moisture and SO mix ahence the "smell") that is in the exhaust system
or if you live in a very humid area you'll get this smell.. After the engine
runs for awhle it should go away.
