ok it can be ...


but the sad part is the following



-i did some city drive since i got the car (near 40 miles) doing 60km/h everything A1 no burning oil smell



- today i decide to make a trip and did some highway during 4 hours... at the beginning i didnt push the car that much doing 100- 110 km/h and there was no burning oil smell, but near the end of the trip i decide to floor it a couple time, did steady 130km/h and then start the oil burning smell ;(



...so one thing i didnt say, its i also have a oil filter housing leak, but i didnt replace, quote was 1000$+ ... so can i leak from there gave a burning oil smell ???


can it be old oil smell ??? .. IMO old oil burning smell should be gone by now , i drive near 40 miles with no oil burning smell , before the burning smell came today

Could be old oil smell. It can take a little bit to burn off. Leaking OFHG not the likely source. Replace the OFHG yourself. It's not a very difficult job. Get a Viton gasket from ECS and you'll never have to touch it again.
