Question Burrning rubber smell (definitaly not the tires)

<FONT size="4">Text</FONT s>
Hi all,
I've been having this problem lately AND consistantly were after running my car for only a few minutes i get this burning rubber smell.
It seems to be getting worse and the dealer "can't reproduce the problem"
I was thinking something aginst the exhaust but haven't been able to find anything.
Then i noticed there is an increasing amount of "brown" residue on enging parts near the main belt.
I rember reading a post about the MY00 belt tensioner being a problem, but considering i own a MY99, i donno what gives.
ANY help would be great, i simply don't have the time to get to the dealership now (i just moved to VT)
Thanks,
Peas,
