If you smell something burning after driving, it could indicate several issues. Common causes include overheated brakes, which can occur if they are worn out or if the brake fluid is low, or an oil leak that may be dripping onto hot engine parts. It could also suggest a problem with the electrical system, such as melted wiring. It's important to have your vehicle inspected by a mechanic to identify and address the issue promptly to avoid further damage or safety hazards.
