Default Burning smell

I know this is pretty vague sounding, but there is like this burning smell after I stop and park my blazer.. almost smells like burning rubber, may even be oil.. my oil coolant lines leak.. which I am getting fixed this week.. would that have anything to do with it?

May be tranny fluid leaking onto your exhaust pipe. Check the pipe that goes from the header under the engine .

What color is the tranny fluid? There was a fluid leaking like under the engine right near my passenger front tire.. it appears to be clear and it doesn't have a smell.. I was told it was my ac just sweating, like a fridge per say.
