I just started having a burnt rubber smell coming in cab last week. Saturday December 29th. I have 13k miles. Popped hood and smelled odor stronger now and saw a little smoke. I noticed a residue on exhaust manifold right side of motor.
Technician at my dealer pinpointed it to small leak on right side cylinder head. Leaking onto manifold causing the odor and the residue I smelled and saw. Tech resealed the head, topped off oil, and I'm back on the road. Hope this helps anybody else
