An overheating engine can lead to a burning oil smell in your car, often caused by potential oil leaks onto hot components. Insufficient coolant levels or a malfunctioning coolant system can result in engine temperature spikes , causing overheating.
If your engine is overheating but still running, you're not doing it any favors by staying on the road. Sure, you may be able to get to your destination before it gives out entirely, but you may cause significant (and costly) damage by pushing your engine too far.

The engine operates as a sealed system, so oil shouldn’t be disappearing unless something is wrong. Start by checking the valve cover for signs of leaking.
Avoid fighting a fire yourself. If you choose to use a fire extinguisher, stay at a safe distance and use only an extinguisher labeled for Class B and Class C fires. If you suspect there is a fire under the hood or in the trunk, do not open it. The action of opening the trunk/hood introduces more oxygen to the fire, allowing it to grow.
Your engine isn’t keeping its cool, but you can! Avoid swerving through traffic or slamming on your brakes when pulling off the road.
