i have noticed this the last couple of days , i have seen in some posts its to do with breather pipes any idea what ones and were i can find them ..

Breather pipes are at the bulkhead end of the intake plenum, end of the black plastic gubbins with ecotech on it.  Trace out the pipe runs, one will go to a breather box with a pinhole size hole.  There is a howto on cleaning the breathers out fully somewheres, give you a race to find it first....  

The ecoteck plastic gubbins also needs cleaned out with carb cleaner, once removed from plenum.  Couple of screws at the front end, plus a hidden screw under the plastic trim.  Gentle levering with a screwdriver pops the cover off.

If breathers are blocked then the crankcase pressure can cause the cam cover gaskets to leak.  Check for oil in the plugwells and oil on the exhaust manifolds/engine block....

Breather pipes are at the back of the plenium on a v6. They block up and cause the cam cover gaskets to leak oil and smell.
Need to change the gaskets and make sure the breathers are clear.

Ok enough job if you know what your doing.
