Burning Oil Smell.
Everytime I drive for a while and finally get to where I'm going. when I get out of the vehicle I smell burning oil. Does anyone know what it can be?
I have noticed some oil drips over the past few weeks. If anyone can tell me what to look for I would greatly appreciate it. This is just just my second post.

May be oil dripping on your exhaust system -- manifold(s) y pipe, etc. Run the car with the hood open and look for any smoke coming from it or underneath the car. You may have a valve cover leak or a bad oil cap seal.

Pull off your plastic engine cover and check it out...
