Burning smell when accelerating hard
I get a burning smell from the vents when I accelerate hard or fully accelerating, few months ago I had a small leak I got the seal changed but they told me I had to get the under of the car washed, but I didn't have time to take it to get washed under it, would this be due to the oil leak or something else ?

What was the leak that was fixed? If that leak was an oil leak around exhaust manifold, reminiscent oil is probably just burning off. As the dealer/mechanic recommended, you should clean the residue of old leak, then you [or the mechanic] will be able to see the source of the smell, if it continues after the cleanup.
