How would I say "it smells like trouble" or "I smell trouble"?

Question

This is an English idiomatic expression. Is there an equivalent in Spanish? Example: I don't like the looks of this, I smell trouble.

Answer 1

How about - Aquí hay gato encerrado ..., algo no anda bien .....or........ me late (me parece) que algo está mal...me late (me parece) que saldrá algo muy mal.

"aquí hay gato encerrado" es mas como "something is rotten in Denmark" - heatlatino, May 16, 2012

Answer 3

In the phrasebook I smell a rat is olerse algo raro. In English the phrase is very similar to I smell trouble.Entonces: Me huelo algo raro.
