This is a slight variation on the losing oil question. I do not seem to be losing any oil, just a slight buring oil smell in the cabin. I actually saw very slight amount of smoke coming from under the hood and upon investigation, the best I could tell it was coming from the area under the throttle body, next to the PNP switch. There does seem to be a little seepage there, is there an engine seal in that general area?
I don't know what kind of oil this car was running before I got it, but the dealer where I purchased it from used Valvoline Dura Blend 10W-30 Synthetic/Natural blend. I had read somewhere that the changeing of the oil to a synthetic could cause problems with seals. Almost sure it could not be the flame trap etc. since the car just had all of this done 2K miles ago. I already checked the oil cap and under the spark plug cover.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
