Burned oil smell is back
This damn thing...
2002 3.0i, several months ago I replaced the VC gasket and inspected the VC for cracks - found none. Put her back together and the smell was gone.

Now it's back. Seriously, it was fixed but now is not. I don't know what is happening here.

Will a bad CCV smell like burned oil?

Only if the engine is sucking oil from a bad CCV into the intake manifold.

I have seen bad ccv cause very early failure of vc gasket. I would replace ccv and re-seal vc. I have also seen non original bmw vc gasket leak right after install. Also always use new grommets

Looked at the back of the vc with an inspection mirror and it is dry.
