all,

I've been getting the occasional faint oil burning smell as I pull up to stop lights or into my garage ever since I went full bolt-ons and E85 (been about 1500 miles since then). I've inspected all the common oil leak points (like the cam seal plate) and I don't see any evidence of oil leakage. I also have noticed no change in oil level on the dipstick.

Is this blow-by being burned? Should I do a compression test?

I'm going FI in a couple months so I just want all my ducks in a row before then.

FYI My car was made in the last month of the 2013 production.
