My wifes 97 Chevy Venture has 65,000 miles. Good vehicle. Recently noticed burning smell from engine compartment after engine warmed up. Smells like burning rubber. Could this be a bad head gasket?

check and make sure you have no seized pulleys it sounds to me if it is a rubber smell it could be the serpentine belt.
