Foul Smelling Clutch

[Momo]

I have a strange problem...occasionally when clutching, particularly around a corner, and at low speeds, I get a strong foul smell in the cab of the 109.

It's like standing water, rancid garbage, rotten broccoli... you get the idea.

Having impeccable personal hygiene, I have ruled out myself as a source.

The clutch is a year old, works great, and the smell is NOT the characteristic burnt clutch.

I do have one suspicion of what the problem is but I would like to hear "the learned opinions of the Rover minions".

Thanks

Mo

Is your wading plug in the bell housing?

[Momo]

No, no wading plug. And I haven't waded since April.

Is it a burning smell? Could anything be dripping onto the exhaust pipe when you go around a corner?

Battery or coil?

No, not burning, like I said, it is rancid, think standing water, garbage, wet gym socks, etc.

Nothing dripping on the exhaust.

Mouse nest?

Remains of that little Honda ricer that tried to cut you up last week and ended up decorating the undercarriage getting a bit foostie?
