Default Burning smell....

I need to figure out why my car is making this smell like something is burning under the hood. I drive my 'teg 10 miles and if i stop the smell will come through my vents. What is making the smell? Thanks

Have you checked the belts to see if there are any signs damage? Thats where I would start looking.

Make sure your up on oil, that can make a smell if you running with close to none. Then also, make sure you don't have anything dead under your hood. Animals like to crawl into engines, I had a mouse in mine once and it reaked, it was caught right by my alternator pulley.
