I'm not a mechanic or really to aware how everything works. I'm 19 and this is my first car and had it for about 5 months.
I parked over to a friends house and when I came back I smelt smoke, popped the hood and seem like something was on fire
My assessment is that piece of the firewall was hanging to low and got caught up into the exhaust manifold and caught fire as it heated up?
Not sure how accurate this is or if this is a deeper issue.
Please assist as I use my car for school and work and would like to resolve this issue asap before/if it gets any worse
Edit: It seems like my gifs turned out as pictures so I will attach Vimeo links of the video I took to take a better look
