Didn't know they had a superstock class in circle track racing for FWDs. The smell is obvious... It is the coolant that went all over your motor and trans that you didn't clean off burning and you smelling it......

Well if the leak is coming from the valve cover then it is bad. You can buy them cheap at any auto parts store.
