Smell's like burning oil....

[Dream]

So after my drive home from work yesterday (about 20 miles) I park my car in the garage, shut the garage door and I notice a strong smell of burning oil. I really didnt think much of it until I noticed the same thing today. It's not leaking any so I dont know what's going on. Anybody else notice this or have this problem?

I have an 08 with the Cobb SRI.

Have you changed the oil recently? It could be just spilled oil burning off. If not, and you can't find the source from looking at the engine, put it on ramps and check for leaks around the oil pan, drain plug, filter etc. Also, some people have had issues with the turbo seals but usually the cars would smoke a little. One way to know is to check the inter-cooler inlet pipe.

How is the oil level?

It's kind of hard to tell if its smoking, its like -10 where I live right now so all I see is exhaust coming out all the time. No oil leaking, I recently did the oil change but I didnt spill any. I know alot of the 6 guys are seeing this problem too just before the turbo seals go. Im on the verge of selling this car already and I dont even have 4k miles on it yet.
