Electrical Burning Smell - CVT issue?

Electrical Burning Smell - AT issue?
My AT GE8 has just under 11K on the odometer, and I just started noticing a faint electrical burning type of odor. It only happens after some spirited driving (IE hard acceleration and deceleration) and is only noticeable once I park the car. It's stronger on the driver's side (inside and out, but stronger outside, I think) and fades away very quickly. There's no odor in the engine bay, and my brakes still have plenty of life in them. I checked for plastic and debris under the car, but there's none to be found. I haven't done any electrical work (except for removing the DRL fuse awhile back.
My biggest concern is that it's the transmission (AT) since it seems to relate to how I was driving before I park, but I haven't noticed any problems at all...still shifts smoothly and quickly - I also use the paddles almost exclusively.
Any ideas for troubleshooting or detecting the source? Anyone had any early AT failures or repairs?
