Default 06 IS 350 burning smell..

my 06 IS350 has about 77k miles..recently noticing a burning smell.sort of smells like burning plastic. Oil level is same and no leaks on garage floor so I can't figure where it's coming from..Anybody have a similar issue/cause?

Figure out exactly where it is coming from. Have you had any maintenance performed lately? I have my "cam rattle" recall done at the dealership, and immediately after I had oil burning off of the exhaust. Smelled bad for a WEEK!

No recent service..changed my oil a month ago..but no issues till the last week..I opened hood and took a wiff,,,not super strong from there…I notice it when getting out out the car…suspect plastic bag, etc met the exhaust system somewhere along the line..not sure how long that takes to burn off..
