I am noticing a burnt oil smell into the car after I take it up a few rpms. By that I mean if i "nail it" but not all the way but fairly spirited and after i let off i smell the smell. No signs of leaks at the valve covers or anywhere else. No blow back under the car..I am thinking mabe a rear main seal or something like that. No spots on the garage floor either...Any ideas???

If it's new or a few months old then it's normal. Just paint and normal heat smell, it'll get less with time and then stop.

I wish i could agree with you but that is not what i supect..The reason is i did have the routine break in odors...This is only when i reach higher rpms and definitely oil burning...I drove race cars for years and that is one smell you can't mistake...I really should have asked any ideas of where it could be coming from rather than what is the smell. Sorry i was not real clear in my first post. Thanks anyway

Mine gives a good stink if I do a WOT blast on the freeway or the last main street before I turn into residential street and park in the garage. My car has 33,000+ miles. Should I be concerned?

The rear creates a vacuum sucking fumes from your after burners back into the cabin, Mine still does it.

I get the same thing durring hard driving. A oil catch can would more than likley solve the problem. I get oil in the intake manifold through the pvc. Pull the TB and see if there is oil residue.
