    Question Burning smell from the front axle

    Hey,*

    I am driving a 2012 Y61 PATROL ST 3.0L MANUAL, recently I have noticed a burning smell coming from the front of the car. The first thing I thought was the clutch, but I have been keeping attention to how I use the clutch and now I am pretty sure it is coming from somewhere else. Also, the mechanic said the clutch was fine.
    I think it is coming from the front differential or the lock hubs from the front wheels, as you can smell it more when using 4H and 4L.*

    I haven't found anything related on the forum.*

    Any help is welcome.*

    Cheers

    If its an oil smell it might show that with the colour of the oil
    It might be something simple like a branch wrapped around the hub.
    what does the smell ,smell like oil, wood etc etc
