"Hot" smell after driving

After I get to my destination, I smell a "hot" smell (Hope you understand what that means because I can't really explain it).  I check the coolant temperature and it runs around 180-190.  The air conditioning works fine and the oil and water levels appear to be fine.  Any ideas before I make any long trips?  By the way, my money tree hasn't been watered in awhile so it has died.  Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

I would just check and see if you are leaking any fluids onto the block. be sure to check trans fluid levels and check for leaks around the
trans where it bolts to the block might have something leaking not instantly visible
