Something leaking onto the exhaust would be my guess. Possibly cam cover gaskets leaking oil onto the exhaust manifolds (check the plug wells for oil).

Another possibility is that the diff pinion seal is leaking and throwing oil onto the exhaust.

What sort of burning smell? Burning oil? Plastic? Or could this be from road salt? As some of us have noticed recently?

Becareful what your buying off ebay, I would and I know alot of others on here would advise to buying Genuine Vauxhall Cam Cover Gaskets & O rings, the cheaper ones just don't last :)
