Burnt oil smell
After i get on it a little bit and then slow down, i smell burnt oil sometimes. I checked my oil and its gone down a little bit. Not very much... No oil on my garage floor.
Any Ideas??

Next thing to check would be blue smoke coming out of the exhaust. Blue smoke when reving the engine=rings. Blue smoke when leaving the car in gear, getting to high RPMs, and letting off the gas usually means valve seals.Then again, oil could be entering the inake from the PCV system as well.

I was gonna say valve seals too. PCV is my second guess. could be rings too since it's after hard runs (obviously you aren't going to smell it while moving but if you come to a stop with a tailwind blowing, you'll smell it.)

UPDATE: I havent driven the car that much. Today i was going to do my clutch fluid (Ranger Method) and was moving a hose out of the way when i saw that the PCV hose that wraps around the back of the intake manifold from the drivers side valve cover was broken completely off.
