hey new guy here my 97 imprezza (non turbo) has a burning smell and a puff of white smoke that comes out from under the hood after I turn off the car after driving it for a bit, Any ideas what that could be?

White smoke is usually water/antifreeze. It would give you a sweet smell as well. Have someone else turn off the car while you have the hood open and see if you can see where it comes from
