Burning Smell

Hello, hoping this isn’t anything to worry about!

I have had a ‘hot metallic’ burning smell through the vents when I accelerate heavily, usually when I’m joining a motorway so from 30-70mph.
I have changed the rocker gasket as it was leaking, checked for any other fluid loss and inspected the car on a ramp and all is good underneath.

is this just the turbo/exhaust getting hot and burning off any debris? I don’t often push the car so it doesn’t get to see high revs very often.

Anyone else had this?
