Burnt metal smell coming from rear of car
Hey all,
I bought an 07 350z last October with 130k miles and I have absolutely loved every bit of it, but have one issue. I’ve noticed a burnt metallic smell very similar to the smell of an oven that’s turned off. I only notice it after driving 2+ miles. I also noticed the smell is towards the rear of the car. I know it’s not my brakes because I just recently installed new pads, rotors, and steal braided lines. I was hoping this would fix my issue but the smell is still there. I also had to install a brand new clutch after a couple of weeks after the purchase. So I’m confident the smell is not coming from the clutch. If anyone has any idea as to what the issue is I could definitely use the help. I also would like to note I do have the famous cv axle click that I plan on fixing this weekend… maybe this could play a role in the smell. Thanks!
