Four Warning Smells That Your Car Wants You To Be Aware Of

Here are four smells that should make you aware that your car has a problem: 

                                        

Burnt Rubber
The smell of burnt rubber could mean slipping drive belts or misplaced loose hoses that might be rubbing against rotating accessory drive pulleys.

Hot Oil
The smell of hot oil could mean that oil is leaking onto the exhaust system. To verify the leak, look for oil on the pavement or smoke coming from the engine area.

Gasoline
The smell of gasoline is likely the sign of a gas leak, possibly a fuel injector line or the fuel tank.

Burning Carpet
The smell of burning carpet could be a sign of brake trouble. Have your brakes checked right away, especially if the smell is happening during normal driving conditions.
