Burning smell

Hi

I have a '92 teal that has 291,000 on it that does that too, usually a lot more than a wisp of smoke tho!
It some times looks like the right front tire is on fire for a couple minutes after shutdown. Turns out the steering rack is leaking a bit of fluid onto the right exhaust pipe and a tiny amount smells rubber -like as it burns off. Seems to happen most at shutdown, my guess being that air flow at speed blows the drips back until you slow down. My hope is that an eventual replacement of the PS return hose will take core of it...

We'll see! Let me know what you find.

Rob
