Default Something burning?

This just started happening, It smells like somethings burning, I've looked under the hood, the car, nothing. At first I thought it might be a plastic bag, but I couldn't find one. Now I can hear a cliking noise and I'm not too sure what it is.

All the fliuds are good, I'm at a loss........

Are you leaking anything? Did you just do an oil change?

if you're not spotting smoke when you pop the hood, and it smells like something's burning when you're inside the car, it could just be the vent fan motor going bye-bye.

Yes... but it's not like you'll be driving and suddenly think "oooO I smell my vtec!"

Only time time my car smells like something is burning, is after an oil change since some of it goes and stays on parts that heat up.
