Oil smell after heavy throttle? Occasionally after heavy throttle, I smell oil, I'm guessing directly from the motor. 112k miles, and I know I have a very SLIGHT oil drip, I'll see one drip on my garage floor every few days or so. What would be the first things to check thats causing the smell after heavy throttle?

Is it a burning oil smell or just a oil smell? The oil leak is probably just a gasket or seal. If its a burning oil smell its either blow by, bad valve seals, or valve covers leaking on exhaust, or something like that. I would just keep an eye on the oil level.
