Just to clarify (burnt oil smell)
« on: 06 July 2011, 16:48:21 »
If the car gives a wiff of burnt oil after spirited/long/traffic use, an oil change and clearout of the breather thing on the plenum should solve yes?

Any oil leak (engine, tranny, diff) tends to drop done, and get blown onto something hot.

You need to locate the leak, but breather cleaning will do no harm whatsoever :y
