well i'm not really sure when. all i know is that when i drive... stop the car get out of the car i can smell it. It seems to be coming from the front driver side.
And but the way I don't drive hard, mybe only on some corners.

Did you change your oil recently or have it changed recently? Alittle oil on the cross member, on the block, etc etc can get hot and stink. It happened to me once.

new pads will also smell as they burn the paint off of them

alot of other **** can smell too, you gotta know what you are smelling............rubber, brakes, clutch, grease, oil, belts etc.
all have a different smell, brakes and clutch smell almost the same but can be dicephired

This happened to me once and it took a while to wear off, but I somehow managed to run over a plastic shopping bag, which immediately infused itself to the exhaust and smelled pretty bad, anyhow eventually it burnt off, so now when I drive I avoid plastic bags, Looks kinda funny to see some guy going on the shoulder to get away from a plastic bag but sheesh that crap smells.
