When my '95 850 Turbo gets driven for about 20 miles or so, after the engine is turned off, I smell faint burning from the engine. Quitle likely the oil that is flowing to the ground from its leak location, and burning a little on the engine, on its trek to the garage floor. The oil ends up in the middle of the car, not favoring the passenger or driver side, and has a reproducible pattern. There are typically 7 quarter size drops of oil, neatly arranged in row of 4, and on top is a row of 3 drops.

What should I look at-- I recently had the oil changed to make sure it was not the drain plug. Is this the sign of a rear main seal ( I thought this would be more on the drivers side as a leak)? Would the turbo return line output oil in this manner?

TIA,
Lunchman
