The harder I kick down the strong smell I will have. That means if I accelerate the car gently, then the smell is not so significant; but if I hit the padel hardly, then I will have strong smell.

The dealer has checked the enging bay and did not find anything leak, they can't help on this issue.

Does anyone have any input about this issue? Thank you very much.
