In need of help

I have a funny smell from mainly drivers side rear wheel area. The smell is in the area and lingers for a minute or two after running. I have not just started car and left it idling but will try that today. When I stop and get out I smell it. The smell is on passangers side just about half as strong.

Now the smell- odd, light, mix of maybe oil and plastic, with a hint of antifreeze.(one I have never smelled)

Info on car - recently over 3000 miles ago oil change, heater hoses changed, some seals and gaskets replaced. I will look for that invoice and list parts. Odometer is at 58000, it is a TIP, base, 2000. No leaks that I can see. No oil and antifreeze mixing both are clear. No loss of either. Put hand over oil fill with car running just a slight pull but nothing like a vacuum. No noticed transmission issues, slip, grind anything. CV boots look fairly new, no leakage.

Where do I look?
