Burning plastic smell and smoke

[JazzyRCZ]

Hey everyone, I'm getting a burnt plastic smell through my vents after driving hard, like when you start melting plastic, and also have seen smoke in engine bay rising from what looks to be the bottom of engine. Does anyone have an idea what it could be?

Could it be oil?

I'll have a look, going to tackle oil filter housing gasket and turbo line

It was a plastic bottle that got stuck and has been melting on my center silencer causing the smoke and burning smell lol

At least you’ve found the problem and it’s a cheap fix

Whoops!
At least you know what it was.

Can you collect our plastic recycling bin every fortnight?
