Could be the clutch, have you been launching the car, or otherwise slipping the clutch?

It could also be a plastic bag melted on the exhaust system.

Drive it normally and it will go away, as long as you didn't completely destroy the clutch disc.

can the disc be destroyed in 4 lauchs
what i done yestarday was to put the car wheels on the trail rails in road and play a little bit...i use 5 gear almost to 6000rpm...i never thought this could damage since the wheels dont have any traction its like reving the car with the wheels on the air....

I can smoke a clutch in 1 launch. All it takes is not releasing the pedal all the way and standing on the gas.

So you where spinning the tires, in 5th gear on a dirt road?

How fast where you going while doing this?

Can you describe this in other words? I can't understand what you mean.
As for 4 launches, if you do it wrong, you can burn the clutch with 1 really bad launch. Unless we have a description of exactly what happens when you do it, we can't say how bad things may be.
What are "trial rails"? What do you mean by "..i use 5 gear almost to 6000rpm..."? And why wouldn't you have any traction, unless you were on ice or something?
