Default 07 Maxx Burning Smell

My maxx has high miles (54000). I keep smelling something that smells like a fluid leak but I can't find anything.The smell comes from underneath the car after it has been running. What could this be?

Default RE: 07 Maxx Burning Smell

oil running onto your manifold? changed the oil lately, or head gasket gone and your getting an antifreeze smell.? or something stuck to you exhaust? run over a palstic bag lately

Unlikely but it could be clogged Catalitic converter overheating....you losing power?
