burn smell...just got some repairs

I own a 94 camry xle....and recently my radiator was leaking and i had that replaced. Then a couple of days later I had had my rotors turn and my drum brakes cleaned and adjusted. Now, I have been smelling something around my hood...mostly in the front of the hood burning everytime I turn it off. I'm thinking that it may be something burning off that perhaps they spilled since I took it to my mechanic 2 days ago. But I still wonder is something else leaking in my car? Can anyone offer any suggestions?

I'd ask the mechanic if you hadn't already. If anything spilled, he did it and should know. If he didn't spill anything atleast he's been "in" your engine and could tell you if he noticed anything else. If he gives you stock answers then just drive down to the shop and say "what's that smell? didn't do that before I brought it in"

He might have spilled some brake fluid on the exhaust manifold...

Make sure BOTH of your cooling fans run when you have the air on.... Bob
