Buring oil smell
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???

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.
