A few days ago, the engine temperature light came on in my 2015 Chevy Trax (31k mileage). I checked the coolant levels & they were low, so I added more coolant. Since then, there’s been a burnt plastic smell when I drive the car for more than 15 minutes. It’s mostly outside but sometimes you can smell it inside if I run the fun without a/c. Turning on the a/c made the smell go away. There are no leaks under the car, engine is not overheating & I checked the oil (it’s good). I don’t think I spilled a lot of coolant when I filled it (I used a funnel). I haven’t noticed any problems when driving?
