Default Hot Smell ?

Just a quick question for you guys, is it normal for my scooby to smell very hot when you turn it off after you have been out in it ?? i know turbo cars do run hotter but am slightly worried about this ?? any help would be good

Cheers

How old is the car matey. The new age cars get quite a hot burning clutch type of smell for ages.

mines the same, a my98 turbo wagon, been told its prob the rocker cover gaskets leaking slightly and dripping on the exhaust manifolds,or maybe the front crank seal. more likely rocker covers depending on mileage. about 100k is the limit for the crankseal i think.
