Why can I smell oil burning when maneuvering ?
Answers:
i own a repair shop,and it may have real small leak ,and it getting down on the exhaust pipe that will cause it to smell through the vent,it wont loose that much oil,it only takes a drop or two for you to smell it,it probably is coming from the valve cover on it,and right now it isn't bad it will get worse on it as time goes on,id look at it ,and see for sure where it is coming from,and then you want to go ahead and fix it or have it fixed,good luck with it,i hope this help,s.
I had a jeep that did this and I discovered a hole in my radiator. Took it to garage and they said that cos the water had gone that my engine was burning the oil. If I hadn't had got it sorted I would have needed a new engine. Presume they were telling me the truth! They didn't charge me very much!
Power steering fluid dripping on the exhaust manifold.
Just a guess but is a possibility.
i too suspect leaky gaskets , have a shop do a fluorescent dye test , this will pinpoint the source of the leak , it may take a week or so with a minor leak , oil on the exhaust manifold smells horrible , good luck
is there oil on your exhaust
there could be a small oil leak landing in the exhaust pipe only needs a drip to cause that check underneath when cold
