Can you further describe the burning smell .. ??

Gasoline; oil; clutch disk; brake pads; leaves; antifreeze .... ??
(they all have distinctive odors)

I'm not very experienced with car issues - so pleaes excuse my ignorance. this BRZ is the first time I was able to get a car i've always wanted. with that said, i'm completely unsure of what kind of burning smell this is, because i've never smelled burning smell in my previous beater.

Can you perhaps describe what each burning smell differs by?

I'm at 16,000 miles, I'm 75% sure we have the exact same problem ... Hopefully we iron this one out!
