Achim - do you have a lot of brake dust anywhere? If your dragging a brake caliper, you might be smelling the brake pads.

If the fluid is red and doesn't smell, then it probably didn't burn...usually its pretty easy to see right away.

Brake pads can make a burning smell, dragging brake drums can do the same.

All those things will have a smell of burning metal/carbon (like it smells when you use a grinder).
