After driving my car and parking it in the garage, the engine gives off this burnt smell. I don't have an oil leak that's been checked. Could it be a strain on the engine?

It's most likely not an engine.

If you are smelling something burning it almost always is oil dripping down on the exhaust. Sometimes this can be hard to find. Ensure that the oil pan is not sweating oil (very common problem).

If this is not the case, look at melting ground wires (not that common).
