Ummm.... sounds like burning oil?

Maybe you should get that leak fixed, you know so you don't blow your engine, then you can worry about smog.

Where is the smell coming from? Does it smell like burning oil or ammonia?
If it smell like ammonia you have a leak somewhere in your exhaust.

Otherwise your car is going to smell cause the crank shaft seal leaks oil all down the oil pan and then onto the exhaust and transmission and it'll start to burn off when the exhaust gets hot.
