Burning brake fluid typically emits a sweet, acrid odor that can be similar to burnt sugar or a chemical smell. This scent arises when the brake fluid overheats due to excessive friction or a malfunction in the braking system. Inhaling this odor can be unpleasant and may indicate a potentially serious issue with the vehicle that should be addressed promptly. If you notice this smell, it's advisable to have your brakes inspected by a professional.
