Post by: TheBoy on 27 December 2012, 11:31:50: Oil leaks are usually from cam covers, oil cooler pipes, upper sump, lower sump, front and rear crank seals.

Post by: SMD on 27 December 2012, 12:38:42: I used to smell burning oil after each drive, even after changing cam cover gasket. Changed the lower sump and smell gone.
