Strong burnt oil smell ( again )
Strong burnt oil smell ( again )
Hi guys, been out for 1st long run today since the winter, ( although the car has been started over the winter ), & once the car had warmed up i was getting a very strong smell of burnt oil, could this be the rocker gasket again ?, or is there any other noted oil leaks that give this ?. It was that strong today i almost felt sick, had to open the windows full !. Had the gaskets changed last year & not done 2k miles with it since.

Suspect it could well be the rear cam gasket leaking onto the manifold,if was the front you
would see it,or could be old oil burning off if not used much since they were done
Pop some cardboard under the car and see if you get any marks on it

Kev, spoken to my mechanic this morning & he's going to do this for me & he'll get the gaskets, so we'll leave the gaskets for the minute, but thanks for looking.
