You are probably leaking anti-freeze
more then likely you have a bad head gasket , or some other leak.
When your car smells like the engine is hot, is the engine hot? If it smells hot and the engine is not hot, then you have coolant escaping onto a hot surface. You may have bad radiator hoses, a leaky radiator, a blown gasket, or some other problem. You need to find the leak.
Could also be that your car is running to hot (over heating). This can sometimes be mistaken for electrical wires being overloaded , and getting to hot. Check thermostat, and condition of coolant....
because it gets so hot it's like it's about to burn
If the Car is taking on the smell of gasonline while on and running it usually means that the car has an exhaust leak. more than likely around the headers. I would have the exhaust system checked out.
umm, need more info. I would say it smells hot because it is...
You should not drive a car that is running hot,because you can lock up the engine.
yes
change the thermostate
there is something wrong with your car. It's not supposed to run and its not supposed to be hot at the same time. Maybe its running for a fashion contest
i believe your heater core has died
Very likely.
