Each time I looked inside the engine bay, and could not see any smoke, and it didn't even smell stronger than inside the car. But it's got to produce some fumes for it to travel inside the car. I hope it's some tree leaves or debris that fell in the engine bay and got stuck where it's really hot. Otherwise I thought about a wire making contact with something hot. That's what comes to my mind from the type of smell. Didn' t think about the belts, those were just recently changed (last year) , could something go wrong ? Now I noticed a smell of burn before, once or twice maybe, a long time ago, everytime it was a one off event and I just hoped it would go away. But this time, there were at least two occurrences in 2 weeks.
