Why does my car smell after oil change?

Why does my Jeep have a bad smell when I shut it down?
One last one, if your vehicle is more than a year old, the pressure cap can be bad and a bad pressure cap will allow the cooling system to boil and let steam escape. When you first shut down the engine and water pump stops circulating coolant, the temp spikes a bit, and thus form the steam that escapes the pressure cap. I noticed the smell also.
