I was driving my 02 WRX and got stuck at a red light on this huge incline. I had to do a hill start and being the noob I am, accidentally held the hand-brake on for tad too long:shakehead....long story short: overreving and a bad burning smell. Got home and realised there was a heavy dripping sound and looked underneath the car and found a pretty big puddle being added to by some pretty fast dripping (which eventually slowed down and stopped). Inspected it, and it seemed like water to me, and after a while it had all evoporated. I'm about 80% sure that it's just the a/c condensation dripping off since I had it on for about the whole hr trip. However, is this the normal method for a car to be doing this? To just let it pour out like that?? And some speculation on what caused the burning smell would be much appreciated too...my poor baby:banghead: (and btw, the same dripping was going on for a while but slower today after a similar but shorter trip).

I'm sure it's just condensation. There's a drip tube that hangs down right around the transmission/clutch area at the back of the engine bay.

edit: and the bunring smell was your clutch. You'll wear it out real quick if you keep that up.

Yeah, I had a strong suspicion it was the clutch.

Thanks a lot for that.
