Burning Smell at High Speeds
I have a '98 Civic DX that is stock with an AEM SRI and Flowmaster exhaust. I've noticed that when I get going between 60-80 MPH, once I ease off of the gas, there is a rather strong burning smell. It only lasts about five seconds and then it dissipates. I had the whole car looked over about a month ago and my mechanic said there is a slight oil leak where the engine meets the transmission. I guess its not really a "leak," but that area is a bit damp. Could that be causing the smell?

Could that be the source of the smell though? My mechanic said not to worry about replacing that unless I decide to get the transmission replaced (which I was thinking of doing).

Once I let off of the gas, the smell dissipates after about five seconds.
