I hate the smell of nai-palm in the morning

[TomPob]

Everytime I finish driving the car I get out to the smell of burning.. I'm not pushing the car hard or over reving it. When I check the oil levels nothings changed..infact the levels are still ok from its service in September. So if its not burning oil..what else is making it smell...

Is there anything sat on the top of the bloc eg, around the spark plug housings.. I had some pine needles on top of mine for a while and used to get a lovely logfire aroma..

Cheers
Matt.

I have a burnt smell on mine too, but I have a leaking rocker cover gaskett that Dave Batty has told me I need to get sorted "at some stage".

My oil level doesn't change too much, so it is probably only losing a little, but evidentally enough to cause the smell (unless it is something else, of course).

Perhaps you have something similar?

No I think it just means the excess has burnt off. It shoul dbe good for a year to 18 months...!
