Update - took the car in yesterday, showed the hose - dealer agreed that was most likely the problem (duh) and apologized half-heartedly.
Concurrent with the fumes, I started hearing a sound just after the car turned over - kind of a short, metal on metal wretching/choking/grinding sound - two bursts, a second each or so, when starting the car cold.
Service manager said I needed to replace the starter motor. Then the mechanic came on the phone and said that replacing the starter motor isn't necessary - it'll still work fine for a while, but I'll hear the noise.
Ugg.. spoke with operations manager this morning who is willing to look again at starter and replace starter at no charge if that is the problem.
What is the probability (high, medium, low, impossible) that the work on the throttle body would have somehow damaged the starter so that it started making this noise? Could the starter have been bumped inadvertantly?
