I haven't noticed any leaks from the car and I had the oil changed at a shop a few days ago and they told me that the car was in perfect condition and there was no leakage of any kind. Today I drove over a really bad bump on the highway and when I got home I noticed a burning oil type smell coming from the exhaust. I couldn't smell it from the engine bay as it was coming from the back of the car. I will be monitoring the smell and oil levels to see if anything abnormal pops up. I was thinking maybe some oil was shook around the car and may have seeped through from somewhere as I went over the bump. I wasn't driving the car particularly hard either. This is the first time I have noticed the smell. Any thoughts as to what it could be?
Hell, back in the day, when people smoked in cars, we wouldn't notice a little oil burning off the engine - right @Tcoat?
