Default Rubber burning smell, 93 camry

Hiya forum! normally im over in the Highlander catagory (03 i drive) but today need to post a question for you shade tree mechanics about my wifes 93 camry. It has only 98k on it. Over the past 3 weeks , ive noticed a faint rubber burning smell being emitted ,i assume from the engine compartment. Last night for example, she drove the 15minutes home from work, pulled in the garage,shut car off. I went into garage 2 minutes after arriving and the faint rubber burning smell hit me immediatly. Timing belt was replaced around 60k, is this the sign of a hose going bad? any other ideas? Keep in mind the smell is not overwhelming, its faint but there, we all know what hot rubber burning smell is like.....thanks for any advice.

Sure it isn't oil from a recent oil change dripping on the manifold?

If not oil, tell her to ease off the accelerator when entering or existing the garage. My old lady does the same thing, tries to hit the posted speed limit from the highway right outside our driveway going into our garage, 55mph in the garage!

crawl underneath and see if something was picked up on the road and stuck the the exhaust - i.e. - plastic shopping bag
