guys, I've tried searching the thread on funny smelling gear or fuel smell in the car when the motor is running hot, but did not find a specific thread.

SOOOOO.. my question/problem is that, when I'm driving the motor...say on the free way. then parking it.. i can smell a strong coolant burning aroma/oder. Added more coolant and the smell was not as strong but still there.. Also my gear makes a watery spoiling nice from gear to gear ( its a short shifter) also where the smell is coming from. ANY IDEA what the source of this problem is? THANKS GUYS.

Yea, you own a RX7. The smells were a factory option.

Running hot plus burning coolant smell = possible water seal issue, or external leak onto exhaust from manifold gasket o-rings.
Attempt to locate external teak, and fix. Or try alumaseal, or rebuild.

Gear oil smell from shifter = inner shift boot cracking from age. Replace it, or stitch it and coat with silicone to get a little more life out of it.

or ditch your RX-7 over LA river and buy something else like the one in my sig lol

Clean the trans, drive it, find the leak dripping on the clean trans. You may be lucky it could just be a filler or drain plug.

Do the same thing with the engine. Cleanit, look for leak.
