Anyone experience anything similar?
No issues with the F95, but, I had a similar issue with GLE63S. That car had an overflow reservoir with a faulty cap (cover) that was on top of the engine. I would see residue around it, it was under the engine cover so I had to dig a bit. Once that was addressed the smell went away.
