Whenever I take RUFUS out for a drive, I always check for plastic bags under the car.

Considering from the moment I picked up on the "Burnt Odor" I was a mile from my garage. Having pulled inside, popping the hood then finding the bag melted around SLICKS exhaust which might have taken 2 minutes max I thought I did relatively well.

When I went put gas today I looked for a plastic bad and didn't see anything. But while I was looking under my car I noticed that I could smell the smell coming from my exhaust and also coming from the front of my car. Could this still be the clutch?

Do you drive the car hard or normal? Whenever getting out after driving the car hard. I get a pretty good wiff of burnt oil/plastic bag smell, from under the driver side. When I drive normal nothing. I have a auto tho. Need to get under there 1 day hope to debunk the plastic bag.

I drive it pretty normally, when i do drive it hard when I get out I can normally smell my brakes, I love breaking since I have the brembos , but I can smell it when i drive it normally and hard.

Check your oil level after shutting off your car for 20 minutes. Let me now how it is.

I know this is going to sound stupid but if I need to get my oil changed would that make it smell burnt? I think I'm close to 2,000 miles over when I needed to get it changed.

Change ur oil if its about that time anyway. Hopefully they didnt fill u with trans fluid..iono..do you see smoke out of ur exhaust?? Start looking..

Maybe they got hand grease or pb blaster they used all over ur exhaust. Make sure ur engine oil is good and hopefully it comes to pass.
