A few problems, high beams, vibration, weird smell.....

OK, we have a 99 saab 9-5 with 260k on it. I love the car. Recently it has been acting kind of strange. First, the highbeams no longer work, at all. Pull the turn sig and no dash light no nothing. Second, the car has developed a low rpm vibration. right when your taking off it vibrates until a little more gas pedal is applied. no vibration anywhere else. Third, the car smells like crayons, really it does, i have no idea why. It's definately dripping something onto the cat, sometimes a little puff of smoke can be seen. I jacked it up and looked but could not find a definate leak. I identified both oil and tranny fluid. What does auto tranny fluid smell like when burned? Last but not least, I hate the dipstick, it is by and far the hardest dipstick to read ever. Anyone else share this same opinion? Thanks
