I was just going to post the same story. We just started noticing a hot, waxy ( like hot wax for skiis and snowboards ) smell eminating from the engine compartment or nearby, after the car has run for a short while, looks like it's off to the stealer for a checkup.[xx(]

Yea, someone posted the same thing under the "General PT Discussions". So much for "improved quality" as the story says.

The article in Reuters says it's contact, on some vehicles, between a high pressure power steering hose and the automatic transaxle cover. If you ae going to be checking your own, why not check them all in that area ?[:I]

Or does anybody have a picture of the suspect area?
I know it's hard to see in the engine compartment, let along
get a decent picture.

The NITSA bulletin specifies non-turbo automatics only, all years. Turbos, and sticks seem to be 'off the hook'.
