I have a 99 GT LTD 5MT Sedan w/75K recently I've noticed a burning rubber smell coming from the front of the car even after short drives. All the talk about the bad head gaskets on the 2.5Ls' has me worried, any idea what I might be smelling? Thanx in advance..

I had the same exact problem. I went and got it fixed and they changed the timing belt and the smell went away. Have sum1 take a look.
