What is causing this oil smell? - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

ZR1ROB · 04-13-2010

I cant find any obvious leaks, and there is no spotting on the floor under the car when parked. If its burning oil, its so small an amount that I cant see a noticable dropping of oil level on the dipstick.

Yet every time I'm at a stoplight or after parking, I can detect a distinct oil burn smell around the car.

I changed the PCV valves, but thats all I've done. I'm stumped. Anyone want to chime in?
