Last night I accelerated hard from a light to about 80. Full throttle in my X coupe and let the 7at do its thing.
I had the sun roof pops as it was nice out finally here in Ohio and at highway speed for the next 5 minutes I am smelling something burning ish...
When I arrived to my destination some 20 mins later there was no lingering smell to draw me to pop the hood.

This isn't the first time my spirited driving has caused my X coupe to become a bit of a scratch and sniff...

All fluid levels are good. Not leaks or puddles detected on the garage floor.

Thoughts?

 

You could be smelling what's being released from the cats. Is it a rubbery smell?

 

Perhaps. Hard to tell.

 

It is still possible it may be caused by some type of fluid burning from a leak. Sometimes if theres a leak from the side or top end it wont leak down onto the floor and can be out of sight from initial inspections.

 

Yeah, I get the rubbery smell every once in a while.

I hear ya Beers but I would suspect that Id smell it all the time if I had a leak not just after Spirited Driving...:/

 

my car had that same kinda smell when I first bought it.. it's a burning plastic smell almost.. nothing to really be concerned about

 

I used to get the same smell all the time. reminded me of my friends turbo genesis that would run rich but not exactly like that.

got test pipes and it smells all day everyday so I don't think about it anymore.
