I have developed an oil burning smell in my 1991. I smell it when I get out of the car only. Any ideas of where to look would be appreciated! I had my timing belt, water pump and valves adjusted about 1.5 years ago. I assume the oil is seeping down on the top of one of the exhaust manifolds. But that is only because I can't see any leaks.. I have about 73k miles on the car.

1991 - oil burning smell but no drips or other visual signs
- Thread starter fisheye
- Start date
Cam Plug seals or VTEC actuator seals
+ head cover... Look at these 3 !
I've heard of oil dripping from the rear bank valve cover gasket onto the rear exhaust manifold.
It's near impossible to see from above, you might need to get intimate under the car to get a good look.
Also look for soot/carbon/burning signs on the rear side of the engine bay (near the rear manifold).
