tomato86 · 04-11-2016, 07:31 PM

Going to run out and get some pics, but I've got this black gunk built up on the bottom of the engine, right where the oil dipstick goes, above the headers. It was a crapload. My car has been smelling like it's burning pretty often, and I know it's not uncommon but what is going on here? Any thoughts? I will go grab some pics.

Edit:

10/16 update - Finally took to dealer, 7 to 8 different engine oil leaks, guess I've been stepping on thin ice for a while. Update on 3rd page
