Funky smell, should I take it to the shop?

Hey guys I have a problem. I noticed this nasty ass smell coming from the outside of my car right after I parked it in the garage. Well, I first noticed it in the drive thru cuz I had my window down. I thought if I just ignored it, it would go away. hahaha But this is the second day I notice it after parking it in the garage.

My girlfriend says it smells like a hot glue gun that's been on for too long or a soldering iron. I opened the hood a second ago and it's definitely coming from there.

Oh, my "Cool" light was on for about 10 minutes yesterday. That was the only thing that was different since noticing the smell.

Should I take it to the dealer to have them look at it. I bought the car in April. Oh yeah, will they charge me to look at it? Cuz I's poor.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks guys.
