Default Problem?

Whats up guys just a question about a smell i've been... well smelling from the engine bay. About 2 days ago I noticed kind of a rubber burning smell coming from around the header area, and it is still there. I'm thinking loose belts or my alternator belt is rubbing or something. Any ideas?

Just look and see.... Start your engine, let it warm up a bit.. Stick your head in there, smell and look... You will prbably find it...

Look for wires, hoses, belts, anything...

Visually inspect everything before for signs of melting, abrasion, anything weird..

Hard to say without being there....

Look at your splash guard... When I got my car back from the shop last time I smelled something burning, and it turned out that my splash guard was loose and the tire was burning it somethin' fierce.
