I can smell burning oil in the cabin after restarting the engine after it has been driven a while. It goes away quickly. Also the vehicle uses about 2 quarts of in between oil changes. I dont seem to have any visible leaks and only once have i seen noticable smoke from the tail pipe at startup and none while driving? Any thoughts??? Thanks Shawn Sidom Veteran / Moderator Jul 19, 2009, 10:12 AM Post #2 of 3 (4564 views) Re: burning oil smell Sign In Those are good for exhaust gaskets leaking at the manifold..... The usual complaint I've seen off the is exhaust smell in the cab but if you're burning that much oil you're probably smelling the burnt oil... As far as the oil burning goes, sounds like you have some valve seals going............... Hammer Time Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Jul 19, 2009, 10:16 AM Post #3 of 3 (4563 views) Re: burning oil smell Sign In Sounds to me like you have an oil leak that is dripping on to the exhaust pipe. Could be the oil filter, drain plug, oil sender or numerous other possibilities. Look under the truck for an oil stain on the exhaust pipe. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
