Burning smell.. brakes?

I'm hoping Zekhausen and/or other knowledgeable brake guys can help. My 300C has about 18K miles on it. It has started developing a burning smell that is a combination of "waxy" and "rubbery". The Brake rotors are more than warm to the touch and the smell seems to be coming from the wheel wells particularly my right rear well. Is this "burn off" from the accumulated brake dust from the pads or something else? I don't see any obvious oil leaks etc...I will be taking the car tpo the dealers' on Monday in this regard but was hoping to nenefit from the wisdom of this board a- priori
