in the cabin or in the engine bay? turning the key to full ON without starting still runs the fuel pump so if you have a leak you'll dump some fuel out...has your car had the fuel line/pulsation dampner recall done?

If the car never had the recall done, id suspect that as a prime candidate for whats causing the smell, you should get it to a dealer to get that fixed or DIY cuz it can lead to the old engine fire o doom.

The collar should be anchored in the pressure plate and extented onto the collar. It should never be flat against the pressure plate for operation (or else the throw-out bearing can/will pop out). Pushing the collar into the pressure plate is what allows the throw-out bearing to be unattached (for dropping the tranny).
