Q45 Oil Burning Smell--only at <40 degrees

[Qcentric]

Every winter when the temp gets to about 40 degrees or less my Q will intermittently start smelling like my valve cover gaskets are leaking, but I cannot find the source. It seems to only happen on cool days, not warm/hot or very cold days. Any ideas? --1994 Q45, 155k, TCS.

Mine does the same thing...... Youll need to get those gaskets replaced!!!!

On my car the oil drips down onto the 3rd manifold..... I cant see it drip, but I can see the stain..... It doesnt always do it, and sometimes it only does it on the drivers side, sometimes it does both.....
