Default Burning smell after driving.

I just noticed like 4 days ago a burning smell coming from under the hood after driving, it smells like plastic burning, i havent had it cheked yet, could this be my clutch? Has anyone had this problem before?

If the clutch was worn out, you would typically know because it would slip. I also wouldnt consider a burnt clutch as a "plastic" sort of burning smell. I would just pop the hood, and take a quick look at all of your belts, wires, and hoses. if they are touching anything hot, or something moving (friction) simple move it out of the way. If not, I would take your car to a professional as soon as possible.
