Exclamation Help Quick!

I just drove like 15miles to my friends house. Chilled for maybe 5 hours, got back to my car, gave it 1 minute of warm up time before leaving.

The car has 14100 miles. Not synthetic oil. The current oil has now 3100miles. Its 25degrees fahrenheit right now and windy.

I have an appointment at 9am for an oil change, but here is my problem.

As I was driving on the highway, not speeding, around 60mph, I have the vent bringing in fresh air so It doesnt cause fog to build in the car windows. I start smelling burning candle smell. I did not know what the heck it was.

When I arived at my cousins house to drop him off, I ask for him to smell the hood, and he tells me it smells like a burning candle.

Im going crazy, I check the oil, its dark brown, but still at the full marker and doesnt smell. It wasn't coming from the brakes or the HID's.

I got a bit closer, and it seemed to be coming from behind the engine or more specifically between the engine and the battery.

I really dont know what is wrong with the car, but can someone please shed some light as to some probable causes of this so they can look into it in the morning. thank you all!
