ES300 smells like oil is burning
Hello forum
My Lexus ES300 is giving me problems. When I drive it, I can see a little bit of white smoke coming from the hood and it smells like oil is burning but it only does it after I start driving for a while. Does anyone know what it could possibly be?

It cold either be your gaskets are going bad and needs to be replaced or your rear main seal. If your seal/gaskets are worn out, oil will leak and burn on your exhaust manifold causing the white smoke and the oil burning smell.
How many miles does your ES300 have?

When did you change your PCV valve last? My oil burning disappeared after some maintenance and it seems the PCV valve is the only things that could have accomplished that.

You should get the head gasket replaced first. Then flush the coolant and get an oil change.
