burnt oil smell after driving

[Gruntz187]

Hello everyone,


I have noticed a burnt oil smell the other day when I pulled into the garage. I have looked top and bottom and cant see a drop of oil anywhere? I have the oil changed every 3000 miles. The gal is parked for now, I have started working on the head lights and have them prepped just waiting on the Angle eyes to get here. Any ideas on the oil smell?

Your valve covers have begun to seep oil, usually on the rear of the engine and onto the exhaust where it is burning.
Requires a lot of work including plenum removal.

Fourdrinie, Thanks for the fast reply. Looks like I will be breaking her all the way down! Thanks
