Over the last couple of days I have observed a sweet sulphurous (sic)
smell (a bit like hard boiled eggs) through the air vents when the
engine gets warm.  It does not overheat,  there is no apparent loss of
performance and everything else appears normal (plenty of oil, coolant,
etc, no smoke, leaks etc).  My local service station suggested that the
coolant was low or leaking - nope!

The car is an '83 RX-7 GSL, 25,000 miles, regularly serviced, fuelled
with major brand gas (seven sisters plus Getty).

Has anybody got any suggestions as to:
	1. 	what is it?
	2.	is it serious?
	3.	what do I do about it?
Thanks in anticipation,
