				Oil Burning Smell?
			 
			I have a 95 993. I have been noticing an oil burning smell (I think) when the car is hot. There is no smoke, just the smell. It is pretty strong. The smell goes away if I turn on my heater and let the hot air pass thru. the car (the hot air does not smell). Any clues on what the story is? I just had my 45k service (I can swear I didn't smell it before I brought it in). Thanks in advance for any help. | ||

			Most likely the mechanic simply dropped a little oil on the heat exchangers when pulling off the valve covers...or, maybe the valve cover gaskets are leaking. Can you see any oil on the exhaust system?

			I did not check that. I will. It has been about 3K miles since the oil change. I imagine I'll have to take off the cover below  the engine to get a better look because there is no oil in my garage. Thanks. | ||
