Macbook Pro M2 - Faint nail-polish remover smell coming from the left exhaust

There's a very faint nail polish remover smell coming from the left exhaust of my Macbook Pro M2.


The internet says it could be a failing battery or some battery puncture, but I don't see signs of a swollen battery.


I will book go to an Apple Store in a few days, but in the meantime, I wondered if anyone could offer any insight.


Thanks in advance.

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 15.7
