Hey everyone, I've got a question about my 91 Accord LX
the last few days everytime I come to a stop and park my car I smell something burning, when I pop my hood, you can't smell anything unless you smell really close to the steering column...any ideas?

 

brakes, tires, oils, etc all have different burning smells. Have you checked all your fluid levels recently to see if any have been going low? or checked your brake pads recently.

 

 

is it a 5sp, because if you have a bad clutch, and it slips under take off if will make that horrid smell of a burning clutch that mostly concentrates itself in the cabin, but it has a very distinctive smell.
Ughh :ugh: burnt clutch

 

yup, sells worst than tires but not as bad as mildewy coolant
<-im at fault for that but it still hasnt pverheated :lmao:

 

It's not my clutch, I know that, smells i beleive like oil... sorry I'm a newb

 

Have you noticed any fluid levels going down? Noticed any puddles under the car after it has been parked for a while?

power steering, brake fluid, or oil? Any of those could be leaking around the driver side

 

If you're not sure, just place a large enough piece of cardboard underneath your car overnite and you'll find the culprit in the morning. Your accord is 1991. Can't expect for it to be flawless. Good luck

 

Got it. It was my oil pan/gaskets. I just hit them to hard going down at an angle...thanks
