sathorburn Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Guys please put me out of my misery. Whenever I drive my supe now, when I switch the engine off and get out there is a conking great smell which appears to be coming from the underneath of the car. It smells like Burning clutch, or similar gear-boxy smell. You know the sort of mix of chemical and metal burning smell? Please help, getting worried now. Cheers in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
part_timer Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 This happened to me in my last car. Turned out i had run over a plastic carrier bag which had melted onto the exhaust, so everywhere i went the smell of burning plastic followed. Have a look at your exhaust and check theres nothing stuck to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 You may also have an oil leak which is dripping on your exhaust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
