Hi Frank,
Cats are supposed to run hot. There's something leaking/dripping oil onto them: Hydraulic hoses, trans, rear engine seal, steering rack, etc. Time to take a look underneath!

Guys- I have about 90K miles on my 1998 A8. After driving for awhile
something is getting hot enough for me to smell it when I get out of the car. Of
course, my wife can smell it before we get out of the car! In any case, I am
wondering what the consensus is on just removing the converter(s). I do not
have to contend with emissions testing, and I have alreday disabled all the
eco warnings. It has been some time since I have been under the car, but I
do not recall the location and accessibility. Are there 1 or 2?. If I
replace with a straight pipe will I have a noise problem? Other problems? I
would appreciate any "been there, done that" advice.TIA
