It might not even be hose related. IMO, I would check the cabin filter and see if thats crummy at all. Start with the easy stuff. If it gets worse, invest in some little trees. New car scent FTW.

I found out that in my car, the "burnt like smell when the car is hot" is atributed to the coolant overflowing from the expansion tank and evaporating rapidly on the hot exhaust shield. My coolant levels are always near the low mark, yet it still boils over at times.
