So i bought this sc300 last week for 3k with 270k on speedo but he got a different cluster so he says it really has around 180 but thats not my problem. When ever i drive the car for a long period of time or rev it high theres this bad burning smell...could be oil because i found a leak on my garage floor and ill raise the car to find it but i need help and ohh theres a rattle noise after i go in reverse duper stumped on that but please help.

What "leak" did you find on your garage floor? Motor oil? Transmission oil? Power steering fluid? ...etc. That should help determine the issue a little bit more.

Oil pan leaks but wont give a burning smell. Valve cover gaskets leak as well.

It was golden so motor oil i suppose and what could the smell be? Oil pump? Gas filter? Its only high revs

Start by tracking down the leak. The burning is likely from the leak hitting something hot and burning. While its sitting whatever is leaking probably just drips till it hits the ground. Also what to you is high revs

Hmm..ok and around 5k
