last night I cought a funny wiff of like a plastic burning smell in side my car... Then on the Ride home from my girlfriends house I was smelling burnt oil... The car was still performing well its just i was getting bad burnt oil smells?

Help please... Could it be intake manifold leak??

 

So.. no info other than a 'burnt oil smell'? You've got to get it up on jacks or ramps and have a look around. Feel behind the intake and see if there's any oil, check the valve covers, check something!

 

well...

are you leaking/burning oil at all?

 

I am running Rich my exhaust tips one trip into town there pretty hazy looking (oil) I know I have an Exhaust leak right where the manofold meets the y-pipe before the o2 sensor.. I think My opti is going out too..

 

Today is the first day Ive actually smelled burning oil..

My oil level is fine.. but it sorta smells like gas

 

ok, wait a minute...

your optis going, you have oil in your exhaust, you have an exhuast leak, you smell burnt oil, but you also smell gas, your running rich, your o2 sensor is probably going too...

My car smelled like that when my EGR valve was leaking. It would suck in the fumes through the heater vents into the car. Once I replaced the valve, the smell dissapeared. Check to see if you have a code for the EGR valve.

 

I have a Egr block off plate my buddie made me he also made me a like a rubber cork looking gasket think theres a hole? or it burnt up?

 

If your smell is comming from under the hood, it wouldnt hurt to check it.

 

it seems to only start smelling when the car warms up to about 170 degress... Thats when the SES light kicks on
