When you drive up a hill the car smells hot but it's not burning oil what's wrong?

The hill is causing the car to work harder. Heat will increase. One common smell would be a rotton egg or sulpher smell from the catalytic converter. This should not be uncommon or too much of a worry. When the car is cool, check radiator an make sure there is fluid there AND in the reservior. Add antifreeze if neccesary. Be sure the hot smell is not a burning smell. It would be good to check other fluids at this time. Pay attention to any other symptoms. If there is a burning smell, check around the exhaust system for anything against it that may burn. Check transmission fluid level, etc. Are there any other symptoms?

Why does your car smell like burning rubber?
Your car smells like burning rubber because a tube or a wire has gotten loose and has come against a hot part. Rubber is burning. Something is wrong. The smell is the symptom. The fire that will happen when the rubber has completely burned away and the fire breaks out is the disease.
