Smokey Oil Odor

When you change the oil in your vehicle, you may smell burning oil, but this is normal, and the smell will go away after a while. The smell may be coming from a leaky seal if it continues or occurs suddenly. If the oil is continuously dripping, park the car and check under it. The vehicle must be taken to a mechanic if so.
