burnt oil smell?
Hello,
I have recently been noticing a burnt oil smell coming from my car only after i park it not at all when driving. The weird thing is that the smell isn't coming from the engine bay. I got out of the car smelt it, popped the hood and put my face right in there but didn't smell anything. Then i started to walk away and when i was just past the front tire i could really smell it. I could also smell it from behind the car.
Any thoughts on where this is coming from? My thought it might be oil leaking down on my exhaust then burning off the pipes........
