CEL ???s

Hi all. New to this site and new C6 owner. Have been experiencing burned oil smell since almost new and at ~1800 miles, car developed noticeable stumbling at part throttle to cruise & got a CEL after an autocross event Saturday. Anyone have any issues with the PVC system on LS3s? Did a search, found some info on LS2s but didn't see anything about LS3s and pvc issues. Anyone have a similar problem? Is this a pvc issue or should I be thinking something else (thought about bad fuel filter but car runs well oon acceleration/full throttle).
Thanks!

What he said. That will tell you alot. New engines burn of assembly chemicals, that might be what you smelling. Check all fluid levels and check for smell.

Thanks for replys. don't have a code reader, called on* who said it was an emissions system malfunction. Have checked fluids, oil is just under the top of the fill mark (careful not to overfill on changes), I think all the "new car" smells have disappeared. Bringing it in for service today.
