Sometimes when Im driving I will smell burning brakes like when you stand on the brakes real hard or your driving with theE-brake on, but I smell it even when I havnt hit the brakes or or left on the E-brake. Any ideas of why this is?
Maybe you’re smelling clutch smoke? They both smell similar.
It could also be a dragging brake. I have similar problems. When I rolled to a stop, I could feel the brake dragging. It turned out to be that the drift pin in the caliper wasn’t returning. I remedied it by replacing the capliper.
HTH,

Also check that the E-brake has the proper tension in the line.
Check the caliper pins as suggested before, or possibly a seized caliper.
