Hey everyone, n00b here. saw this post and know i kinda had a problem w/ a bad smell also. mine was a bit different than burning plastic and oil stuff tho.
I had gone a long while w/o changing oil or adding antifreeze/water or anything, and i ended up cracking my radiator. just a small hairline crack, took it to a shop and the dude refilled all the liquids and everything, and said he'd put the radiator cap back on, but not all the way, just to keep off the pressure and keep it from blowing and steeming.
So now everynow and then when it gets low, the fluid kinda burns or whatever, and i get this weird burning pancake/syrup smell. so i carry a can of antifreeze in the trunk and just refill it whenever it gets there, or right before it empties. maybe i should spend the 300 bux to replace it, huh? but whatever, i'm a n00b, and its a fairly new car (to me). '97 civic ex, 165,000 miles on it. l8z
