^^^???? really thats the advice you give???
Do everyone a favor and sign the hell out and never sign back in!!

OP check your valve cover for any leaks on the exhaust manifold. Or exhaust leaks, you could be burning oil and your smelling it from an exhaust leak.

ok i'll do this weekend.
Thanks you.

Time for a rebuild.
do you really think so?
 
I wasn't trying to be funny or anything; jeez. There wasn't alot of information to go off to begin with. I realize that there could be a leak from lots of places and not just internally. No need to fly off the handle! Sorry, OP for leading you down the worst path. Check for obvious leaks like anything dripping onto the exhaust, and also do a leak down test.

LOL; first two posts

Q: Car no workie

A: Time for a new car.

Defensive: How dare you sarcastically answer to seemingly vague questions!

This place cracks me up...


Anyway, do you blow black or blue smoke under WOT? What's your oil consumption been the last few weeks? Any noticeable changes in performance and has there been any recent engine work.
