Burning Rubber Smeel Coming from Wheel Well

Burning Rubber Smell Coming from Wheel Well
I have a burning rubber smell coming from my rear left wheel well after I drive my 240 for a little amount of time. I dont know if the oem muffler I just got plays a role in this but I can definetly smell the rubber smell. I took it to the mechanic today and he says it could be the clutch. I don't want to spend tons of money just to CHECK if its the clutch when the clutch seems to be working fine. I forgot to mention that the smell was coming from the wheel well to the mechanic. Does anyone know what may be causing this??? I am guessing either the brakes or the muffler may be playing a role. The only new part is the muffler though and it does not smell like oil.
I would appreciate any help from you guys if anyone has any ideas. Thanks alot.
Sincerely John

I agree.... My best guess is that you are rubbing on something (most likely wheelwell or strut/spring) or you are just accelerating a little too hard
Also, if you dont know what clutch smells like, its along the lines of a weak rotten egg smell
Give your brakes a check, and if your clutch starts slipping then look into that as well.
