Re: Smell coming from engine

Check for smoke (and what color it is if there is some), check your oil, check for coolant leaks. If all else fails check your cat and see if it's clogging. I know my car smells from the oil and gunk in my cat when i get on my engine, but you'd be safer if you check the other things first.

if you smell the burning when you floor it, it could be your motor burning oil.
