AC hissing and burnt smell Sign In

Recently bought a 03 Camry v6, the AC and heat work great but I notice a hissing sound coming from the AC along with a burning smell. Usually the hissing will stop and go and there really isn’t a pattern to it but the burning smell happens mostly when I come to a stop. I only smell this when the AC is working.

You probably have an oil leak that is dripping onto the hot exhaust and the fumes are being drawn into the AC system when you come to a stop.

As for the noise, you need to pinpoint where it is coming from a little better for us to have any idea.
