My Car Smells Funky?

If you hold full throttle for like 5 or more seconds in 3rd or 4th it smells like iron. My dad also suggested it could be brake fluid. The ABS was leaking a while back so it could have dripped on there but it's been a while since I fixed the leak. Any other ideas?

I don't think it's the clutch. I know how that smells. It doens't burn much when I launch it hard from a stop. It definitely smells like something else.

I should have clarified this a little better before but with the brake fluid I meant that it could have dripped onto the DP and boiled b/c of the sustained high EGT in 3rd and 4th gear.
