Burnt Smell

Hey fellas.. got that burnt smell whenever i drive the G. I checked around the exhuast mani area and nothing seems to be touching it. checked my wheels cause i might be rubbing bad, but also not coming from there.. I've been kinda busy lately and i haven't got the time to really inspect it.. but any you fellas experienced this kinda thing.. I'm thinking that it could be under like around my exhaust pipes. maybe some plastic got stuck and it's starting to burn.. but i hope it's just that.. well i'll probly check it out tomorrow and i'll give you guys an update.

When do u smell it, hot, cold, lemme know and i'll get back w/ u.

You might have an exhaust leak, check all your gaskets, manifold, etc.

Exhaust leak should smell like exhaust not a burning smell. Check the fues box?

Is it definately coming from the engine bay? Does it smell like rubber? Do you hear any noises? More info.....u might wanna check to see if your timing belt is not being burned up by your water pump. Happened to me before the first time the water pump seized on me. Second time it happened it did it without notice on the freeway and it was bad news.

last time i had a burning smell, it was from a plastic bag that got caught on my cat. i had to dremel it off.
