'17 BRZ burning smell

Hey guys!

Just yesterday my 2017 BRZ started producing a fairly strong burning smell after it's been running for a short time and it's happened every drive since. You can notice it a little inside the car, but it's very strong after parking, once you step out of the car. It's definitely coming from somewhere in the engine bay as it's very noticeable when you pop the hood.

It's a manual transmission, completely stock. Just under 7900 miles on it. Had the oil changed at 6k by the dealership.

In addition to the smell, it seems like the fuel pump also started chirping. I don't expect these issues to be related, but it is a little coincidental.

I'm gonna try to take it to the dealership tomorrow since it's all still under warranty, but I was wondering if anyone has any ideas what it could be or any suggestions on what I can check for? The oil level seems pretty normal, coolant is full, but I don't know a ton about cars and don't really know what else to check, so any suggestions are welcome.
