Ok, I don't see any leak, but at idle I can smell burning oil in the cabin of the SSEi. Turn to Recirc and it goes away after a few minutes. No drips on the ground.... etc. Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

Somewhere there is oil leaking onto a hot manifold.

I guarantee it's the valve covers. They seep and it drips on the rear manifold.
