That happened to me one time..... but it was a plastic bag that got cought up in my mid pipes and melted itself to them. (Yea they get pretty Hot) It smelled like burnt plastic/rubber for 2 weeks till it finally burned itself off.

I have had that happen recently and it sucks. I'm just letting it melt away too.
