Some things to check for under the hood:

Valve cover gasket leak may cause oil to drip onto header giving off a burnt oil/sulpher smell (easy fix, gasket is about $40 and less than 1 hour labour.) valve cover gasket replacement how-to

Thermostat housing crack may cause coolant to leak onto hot engine block giving off a burnt sweet smell. Here is a link on how to replace it: thermostat housing replacement how-to

If it is not coming from your car I have noticed that when it is really cold, (especially since we have not had any until recently in southern Ontario,) my smell sensory is heightened and I can detect a diesel vehicle within 5 car lengths of my car.
