no, I don't think so - I didn't know what that was so I looked it up. The car drives fine and feels fine; it's just the smell and the heat.

This evening I returned home from a friend's house - a 10 mile drive - got out of the car and noticed a smell coming from the engine area. I don't really have the vocabulary to describe this properly, but it was sort of a hot smell - it didn't smell like gas, but kind of like hot metal, rubber, maybe a bit like something was burning. The hood felt very hot, especially after only driving for ten miles, and 2 hours later it still felt warm. Granted, I live in Georgia, but it was only about 75 degrees out at 8 PM. This is a 98 Subaru Legacy wagon, by the way. I drove it yesterday 35 miles to a job interview and 35 miles back, no problem, no odor. Had to run to the store this morning, about 7 miles away, no problem then either. And I didn't notice anything after I arrived at my friend's house this afternoon, just after returning home. Thanks for any advice you can give me!

thank you so much!

help! My check engine light came on the other day, and suddenly the speedometer and odometer stopped working, so I went to AutoZone and they said the problem was the speed sensor. I drive a 98 Legacy wagon with a manual transmission. A friend of mine has kindly offered to replace the sensor, but he's looked online and says he couldn't find out where it was located on a car w/a manual transmission, only on the automatic. Is it in the same spot? TIA for all your advice!!
