Can you perhaps describe what each burning smell differs by?

I'll try.
gasoline - smells like the vapors that come off your lawnmower after you overfill it.
oil - smells like a BBQ after you have sprayed Pam on it when grill is hot.
clutch disk - smells like nothing else ..... sort of like a hot/baked/oven mitt, you left in the oven.
brake pads - smells like a burning, hot, stinking piece of wet wood.
antifreeze - smells sort of sweet and alcoholic
caliper - (actually the pad would be burning)
............and then we have electrical insulation, rubber, hot belts
I suggest you ask your co-pilot where they think the smell is coming from and what it smells like .....
