Title: Just to clarify (burnt oil smell)
Post by: GmasterT on 06 July 2011, 16:48:21

If the car gives a wiff of burnt oil after spirited/long/traffic use, an oil change and clearout of the breather thing on the plenum should solve yes?

Cheers  :y

Any oil leak (engine, tranny, diff) tends to drop done, and get blown onto something hot.

You need to locate the leak, but breather cleaning will do no harm whatsoever :y
