Burnt smell from the engine bay (2.4L)?

Anyone else getting a burnt smell from the engine bay after hard acceleration or 'more than usual' stop-and-go driving? I can't seem to pin-point where the smell is coming from. I don't get the smell under normal driving conditions or long-distance driving of 250+ miles. I checked the oil fliuds, and every thing seems normal. My ILX 2.4L currently has 11K miles on it with an oil change done at 7.5K.

Have you had the vehicle on a lift to check under the car to see if something may be stuck?

Could be your clutch still wearing in. When I replaced my clutch on my 07 Si I got a burning smell after heavy acceleration and quick shifting, I did notice that smell a bit on my 2.4 but only after spirited driving, hard shifting, etc.
