Angry washer fluid reservoir/burning rubber smell

Just reached the break in period and decided to check all of my fluids. The reservoir for the washer fluid was very low, so I added fluid and it all came gushing out. I take it to the dealer tomorrow. Anyone experience this? Also, what the heck is the burning smell coming from under the hood after hard launches? If its the clutch as I suspect I had better get my winter beater quick!

the burning smell is probably your clutch, which fluid resevoir, the one under the hood or in the trunk?

Under the hood is your intercooler spray, when you fill it up too full it has an overflow...

How are you launching your car?

I've tried 2 "hard" launches. The 1st one I dumped the clutch, the 2nd eased it out. Both times it smelled like burning rubber under the hood. I'm either smoking the front tires or melting something!

I also smell burning rubber when hard launching my evo. I tired to locate the source, and i found that it is a bit concentrated in the left side of the engine (the clutch side). so i think its the clutch, but i dont know if it is normal... any opinions?
