Car giving off Burnt Popcorn Smell?
I have a 2007 PT Cruiser with automatic transmission that recently has randomly been giving off a burnt popcorn smell. I notice it most when I have come to a stop and the car is running but it does not do it all the time.
I do not notice any smoke or noises from the engine. I recently got a new battery (2 months ago) and two new rear tires (1 month ago). I started noticing it about 2 weeks ago and it has happened 2-3 times.
I have tried to Google it and I came up with 1 option of a sticking brake caliper and another forum said an oil leak but the rest of the forum comments were just jokes about popcorn which were not helpful.
I DID notice about a week ago when I moved the car to use the snowblower that there was some yellowy spots in the snow under the car. No warning lights are coming on.
If you have a suggestion of what it could be, can you give me some idea of what it will cost to fix if I have to take it to a mechanic?
