Fridge has a weird smell coming from where the compressor is

Question

I have a fridge that has some kind of weird smell coming from where the compressor is. Ive checked the wires and any connections to see if theres any burnt wires, theres nothing. Its not really a burning smell. Its something really weird. Is this dangerous to inhale? What can I do about it?

Is it a rotten food kind of smell, or an "oily" or metallic kind of smell? If not a rotten food type of smell, it may be a refrigerant leak, in which case your compressor is probably toast by now.
