Hey guys, quick question. Got a '13 BRZ limited CPO a month ago. As of.. maybe 2~ ish weeks ago? i noticed a slight burning smell (can't figure if its rubber or clutch?) after i get outside of my car. It seems like it's coming from the right side of the car. I've done a quick search and it seems like oil burning/leaking is the common problem.

However, I took my car in last saturday and asked to check for all of those, and the dealer said there weren't any issues with oil burning or anything like that..

so.. what could it be? I can definitely smell it after 15+ minutes of driving, i leave the car, go to passenger side, and smell the front right wheels. Maybe rubber? but why would front right side rubber be burning..?
