Lately I have noticed that there seem to be a burning kind of smell from the engine after a dirve. It is not always there but seem to appear now and again. The smell is more like a heated plastic or mild burn smell, not a very strong engine on fire kind of smell Took it to my Mechanic twice but both times no smell detected................ the usualCar underwent Inspection I with AB by previous owner back in Aug 2008 and has only clocked 2000 + KM since. Service indicator shows still about 22K KM left. My Mechanic has checked and confirmed no oil leaks anywhere. All indicators seem normal and Engine does not seem to show any problem. Just this burning kind of smell when you get out of the car. When it is there it seems more prominent either through the front grilles and when hood is opened near the Engine Oil dip stick areaAnyone had similar problems before. Would be greatful is any of you guys could shed some light on this problem::dontknow:Thanks</p></blockquote><p></p>
